The Cost Of Living Crisis

Anyone felt the pinch yet?

Notice a good proportion of my hotels are quiet this week. But with the jubilee round the corner and pride the week after maybe folk are simply saving their trips for that.

Cant help but feel the media are driving a lot of it. They seem hell bent on us heading into a recession. Making people panic and stop spending.

They should be telling everyone its all gravy.

Only area Ive felt it is diesel. £154 to fill my van the other day. That's taking the piss.

All this talk oif burgers has made me hungry, so I've just placed a Deliveroo for a 5 Guys for lunch. It should be here in about 15 minutes hopefully.....and at £24, it wants to still be hot when it gets here!

Oh that’s sad. It was one of my favourite Biggleswade haunts.

It was brilliant.

Shove your smelly American gas back up your fat American bums and give us a trade deal that suits us.

We’ve got a very successful trading relationship with the US.

Oh

why all the histrionics from Lord Frost and co about getting a trade deal with them then?

Don’t know, can’t recall any big ooha. Clearly, a free trade agreement is, philosophically and practically, a good thing. It isn’t easy with the way that the US is set up, as much is devolved to each state. Hopefully one for the future.

Are you saying that a deal with the US was never even mentioned as being one of the Brexit bonuses?

Dont be that guy.

Think you'll find Truss was saying it wouldn't happen quickly.

That, in part, is due to the current set up over in the US. 

Penny Mordaunt has been working over there for a while working with the individual states; as BD points out, this is a practical way to go.

The Scotchers and farmers, have already benefited.

Oh

A trade deal must never have gotten a mention then from the Leave campaign.

I was sure it did. I must be wrong 😁
