I think they are trying to salvage the destruction our Prime Minister and Chancellor have bought upon us.

Not entirely sure if that's a fair comparison?
1. MOT's can be charged up to a fixed maximum price of £54.85
2. generally, servicing costs depend on the vehicle mileage and what work is required

They call it an "oil change service", and it's been the same very year as I do little driving that I haven't hit the next "special" service yet. These costs don't include other things like brake fluid, brake pads, etc. Those always get added separately to the bill. And boy, they have hiked-up a lot too during the last 2 years!

Re: Rising cost of living
Inflation figures announced today - some 10.1%, higher than expected and five times the Bank of England's target.
September's figures are normally used for increasing benefits and pensions in April.

Re: Rising cost of living
I have noticed the prices of pasta and cooking oil rising rapidly. Also beef and chicken.

Re: Rising cost of living
There was a article about this today following the Office Of National Statistics report.

Re: Rising cost of living
Bank of England expects UK to fall into longest ever recession
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63471725
Quote:
The Bank of England has warned the UK is facing its longest recession since records began, as it raised interest rates by the most in 33 years.
In its outlook for the UK economy, it said the country would face a "very challenging" two-year slump and unemployment will nearly double.
It lifted UK interest rates to 3% from 2.25%, the biggest jump since 1989.
It takes borrowing costs to their highest since 2008, when the UK banking system faced collapse.
