in my experience Costco isn’t cheaper or better quality than aldi and lidl, plus you have to have room to store the stuff.
lots of houses have been sold that were rented so there’s literally nothing on the market to rent, so landlords can name their price.
Our landlord could probably put the rent up by 25% right now given the increases of the past 3 months.

Your contract should state what the increase is based on. Ours was RPI + 1%.
Also my understanding is that they can't increase it above that unless they make fundamental changes to the property I.e. an extension.
However there is nothing to stop them serving you your notice and then getting a new tenant in at a higher monthly amount
Some landlords will be looking to sell before that heat pump becomes law as 5k govt grant wont cover the 10 - 15k actual cost. Not sure whether govt thinks about people in private rent much.
ETA oh its not as bad as I thought ...
While landlords and other property owners will be encouraged to switch to a heat pump or other low-carbon technology, there will be no obligation to remove boilers that are still working.

That is not true, provided they have given your written notice and are in line with the tenancy they can increase your rent 'reasonably'. If in a fixed term you have to agree, if you do not agree, they can increase it at the end of the fixed term.
Tesco by me have been low on crisps for a few weeksSo either there’s a crisp shortage I know nothing about or my Asda is having its latest staff crisis and didn’t get the stock out last night.Pom bears and hula hoops for this over 50’s household!,
Home Bargains had literally none yesterday. My lo loves cheese and onion Walkers squares, haven't been able to find them anywhere for the past few weeks.
Sainsbury's finally had garlic bread this week after weeks of shortage.. but it gave me heartburn last night. That will serve me right for missing it so much
I think there genuinely may be a crisp shortage. We've had problems getting certain crisps, mainly Walkers Ready Salted, from Asda for weeks now. Haven't managed to find them elsewhere either.So either there’s a crisp shortage I know nothing about or my Asda is having its latest staff crisis and didn’t get the stock out last night.
I'm not sure about a shortage, but the supply definitely seems quite patchy.
On the other hand this means there are warehouses stuffed full of all manner of undistributed crisps, not just the well known ones but a multitude of rare and exotic types too, ready for the picking!
All we need now is fuel for the unmarked hgv. And someone to drive it.
Orange juice from concentrate pre August was like 65p a carton now it's £1 a carton...
Really?
our last landlord put our rent up 40% in one month, even though we were the ones that maintained it and carried out repairs (not in the contract that was the case, it was just expected)
They’ve just added a few new bits for landlords haven’t they? The electric testing and the new tax. They won’t push landlords too far. Too many of them have investments in properties.
The reason why petrol prices are extortionate to begin with...
Tax.
On a 142.9p price per litre:
57.9p is fuel duty, 23.7p is VAT. A total of 81.6p.
Fuel is subject to double taxation.
Yet Rishi Sunak was contemplating raising fuel duty further, until oblivious public pressure has forced him to backtrack.
Every time the price a barrel of crude oil rises, the Government automatically benefits from an increased VAT tax take on the increased price.
The Government's tax take is already x10 what the retailer's margin is for selling the fuel.
How much more do the Government want?? They now just come across as utterly greedy when contemplating further increases to fuel duty.
How on earth is the Government going to plug its finances in future, when cars start to move away from using Petrol and Diesel?
Like anything else only those who can afford to drive will continue to do so.
On a side note: our World war 2 debts were only paid off in '06 .
"The payments of $83.25m (£42.5m) to the US and US$22.7m (£11.6m) to Canada are the last of 50 instalments since 1950. The amount paid back is nearly double that loaned in 1945 and 1946. "
