Found out now that that 65k is now 80k to get a brand new one on site. 15k extra in one year. Hands tied as that is the price of the mobile and he has to pass it on.

Really hope with China opening back up now for manufacturing we finally start to see a bit of movement in the supply chains and prices getting back to normal. It’s just out of control like in the mobile instance, the lack of steel is driving prices crazy for steel and mobiles are mainly buoy out of steel.

cry me a river ffs Cry

this is hardly cost of living crisis unless you're living in a caravan Ermm

We could only take two Carribbean cruises this year instead of our usual three. It's tough for everyone!

Just got a haircut in a place that opened about a year ago at Lidl on Belgrade Road. €10 for a haircut then, after three increases it's now €20. Don't mind throwing the barber a few quid at the end, so closer to €23.

Crowd called League Barbers. Nice shop and service is always quick but €20 for a gents cut in the suburbs shouldn't be €20.

A person who cuts mens hair and shaves or trims beards as an occupation.

Petrol, yes. A haircut, unless you’re going to a fancy place, which doesn’t sound like the original place mentioned, is comparable to home.

Everything else is definitely not less expensive.
