Inflation

Notwithstanding the figures, I'm not noticing the reduction in inflation. They can spout whatever figures they want but until you notice a significant drop in the weekly shop/bills, it's just number crunching. I found a 2008 Tesco receipt in the iron box and it was quite surprising. Some items were even more expensive. The cheap and cheerful iron was £4.50. I think I used for the first time yesterday. That was a real necessity wasn't it?

Whats an iron?

It's a power tool that usually kept under the stairs or  lurking at the back of a cupboard.

How right you are. This very cheap iron was stored on  the  very top shelf of the  broom cupboard, behind paint tins and dust sheets, all but inaccessible. I'm vaguely surprised I even remembered it was there.
