Yes cheap and cheerful is the winning formula but still people try charging falang price and crash and burn. Starbucks, McDonalds are good examples of that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish him well. They will soon . With all the money that’s been printed in the west we are already seeing massive inflation and it’s going to get worse . If I was a pensioner I’d start thinking on what to do with money I have sitting in banks abroad as I fear the exchange rates could get much worse in the not too distant future . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many non-state pensions, and some from the state, are index-linked so should not be impacted negatively by inflation. Investment options are a whole different matter. With regard to Steak & Co, I am pleased to see them taking the initiative in challenging times and hope they succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My house went up 25% in value in one year we are all living on printed money ! if we think we are going to come out of this smelling of roses then you are massively mistaken ! Interest rates at an all time low and can’t get any lower , that’s a huge indicator of a struggling economy . The uks economy has been in the <deleted>ter for over a decade and I can’t see it ever recovering . So I wouldn’t use there as an example .

If you visited the place you could select to your preferences. Apologies if I offended you, no offence intended.
