The cost of living

[Mottie]

Has phone bills gone up 55%
Car wash?
TV's?
Washing machines?
Holidays?

No. So it’s not a 'cost of living' is it? It just a cost of McDonalds.

Perhaps you should consider changing the thread title?

I can remember when every fuel station offered 'free air', nothing, zilch, nada to blow up your tyres. Now it's 50p or even a quid. But that's inflation.

Exactly. Don't say 'Cost of Living', say 'Cost of GOVERNMENT'.

The average man hasn't made his life more expensive, the government has.
