Re: Rising cost of living
Not great news: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65026231
Quote:
The cost of living unexpectedly increased last month after shortages of salad and vegetables helped push food prices to their highest for 45 years.
Alcohol prices in restaurants and pubs also drove up costs for households as inflation jumped to 10.4% in the year to February from 10.1% in January.
Clothing costs, particularly for children and women, rose last month but fuel prices continued to fall.
The surprise figures come ahead of a decision on interest rates on Thursday.
