I hate Tesco. Multiple different ranges of their own brand products from Basic for a quid topping out at an extortionate fiver for a 'Finest' pizza. Why not just make a good quality pizza without the bullsh1t? Buy 1 get 2 free deals, and half price only on one specific flavour of the same product. Their whole business model annoys me. Basically shops on every street with nothing I want. They've got away with reducing quality AND increasing prices for years to keep their profits up but when you look at M&S' results you can see it's working. Fortunately no-one is forced to shop there

Pretty obvious that prices are going to rise for anything that relies on importing goods and services with the state of the pound. The amount of head in the sand stuff around the knock on effects of the weak pound is astounding. I'd agree there are going to be instances like that, but in this case it's purely just profiteering. After all, we all remember the great Marmite / Pot Noodle price crash when the Euro was in the toilet over Greece don't we?

Unilever tried the same stunt in Ireland too, which by my last reckoning is still in the euro. Drop in the pound has been slightly alarming *but* if it puts people off going on holiday so readily maybe they'll spend the money in this country instead? Maybe that's why we're having increased tourism? Maybe that's why the stock markets are up, great time to invest in our country if you're overseas as our labour just got cheaper? It's not *all* bad, it could lead to a bit of economic stimulus.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. |

Not complaining mind as used to have free accommodation on previous trips there but a near 20% cost increase is huge in such a short space of time.

i'm looking forward to the sh1tstorm when Tescos go back to Unilever when the pound regains some ground and insists on a price drop. Edited by paperhat (14 Oct 2016 11.05am)

The reports from The Financial Times yesterday was startling. Looks like we will be obliged to pay a £20billion exit bill for certain future EU obligations we signed up to and that's on top of a treasury forecast of £66billion in lost tax revenues.

Marmite is made in the UK, using ingredients sourced domestically. I don't see how the exchange rate affects the price. I think Unilever are taking the piss, and it would seem Tesco think so too. CF how right you are!!...(again)

I would not think that the things we signed up to will apply when we are out of the EU as we will not have to play by their rules anymore. Leaving as we are is a totally new set of rules and we have to see what we can negotiate in a way it suits us and not the EU. I have a feeling that we will not be alone in leaving as other countries are now kicking up and their people want out too and get their own currency back. I think we have stirred a can of worms up if you ask me!
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

More like Pandora's Box FT were saying that the contractual financial obligations for certain things - not all - is something we can't wriggle out of and has not been mentioned by May et al because of that and the immediate exit bill will be around £20 billion. I suppose it's like moving a kid from one private school to another mid-term but having already signed up to pay the yearly fees no matter what for the first school. Not something the parents can get out of unless the first school had broken the contract. Edited by Kermit8 (14 Oct 2016 11.42am)

A private school is hardly likely to impose unworkable conditions on the parents of the kid as tough as the EU imposed on the UK or ask them to stump up huge extra fees on top midterm because they earned more than Johnny Smith's parents etc...

Even if that were true, it is not btw as working conditions have generally improved since we joined and because of the EU (the social chapter, etc), then it still doesn't negate the problem of some contractual obligations and bills having to have to be paid by us, as reported, on Exit. £20 billion worth. We just will have to grin and bear it. Edited by Kermit8 (14 Oct 2016 12.21pm)
