The big advantage to dreadful inflation and cost of living

[Captain Caveman]

Well, over 20 odd years, I'm slowly retiring. Doing so by dropping down to small jobs, jobs that just take the day. Then those will phase out over the next 5 to 10 years. It's because I had a pension mature, and when I do fully pack in, I'll get the state pension plus another private pension when I turn 67.

So the good news, I looked after all of my tools and equipment, they're all in excellent condition. And because of the daft prices these days, I should get back what I paid.

For example, I have 11 acro props each costing £38. I just checked online where I bought them and they are now £58 each!! But I'll probably keep 4 and sell the rest.

I paid £4k for my trailer and it's in mint condition. The accessories I fitted are light guards, mesh sides, tool box, battery maintainer, and tarpaulin. Just for the trailer alone, they are now £6k excluding vat (sales tax at 20%)!!

So thank you useless economies of the world !!

Anyone else benefited from their crap economy too?

And to think 4 years ago, inflation was under 2%.

Elections have consequences.
