It’s like communism has ended and now we don’t have to pick the weevils out of the sad state milled bread anymore. Plus prices haven’t gone up that much either considering how expensive their bread already was anyway. Manx milk next with the latest price increase. We’re saving money on better quality bread bought at Tescos. Now it will be Cravendale milk from the Co-op to save about a quid on a few litres on milk. You can bet there will be an initiative coming around shortly about “buying local” as thousands of people find that they can no longer afford to buy local.

Everything I have now is ultra low power usage and solar for the hot water. It’s food prices that are really going to hit. The Co-op put all its prices up about 20% across the board yesterday as new supplies came in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can manage my power usage largely but I can’t manage our food budget to the same degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbnuts Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Also there seems to be zero issues in getting a loaf when you need it despite whats of people thought. I dont eat much bread tbh so cant be arsed going into town to Tesco or M and S just pick up a loaf wherever I am when I need one. Got to say I'm noticing the leccie rises . All a bit worrying for many I'm sure . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackwhite Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 6 hours ago, Roger Mexico said: But, as was discussed on a previous thread, there are clearly also those in the area who are worried about noise from an outside licenced area operating year-round and seven days a week well into the evenings. ....and as we as discussed on a previous thread, they were given their chance initially to put their case forward and it was dismissed. Then one of them doesn't like that decision so appeals. To be honest that shouldn't have been allowed as he didn't make any new claims, just the original ones. There are old folk all over the island that don't want bars or clubs. If you've been to the place, you'd realise it's not like that and likely never would be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Local bakery's starting to spring up. Not advertising, but Pulrose bakers pie/pastie of choice in buttered bap brown sauce (other sauces available) £2.00. Ain't doing me cholesterol much good, tastes great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No amount of empty platitudes will prepare them for the anger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
