Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

The good old days?

2022 inflation 5.4%, interest rates 0.25%

1979 (the year Thatcher started her attack on the north) inflation 13.4%, interest rates 17%.

I had just bought my first house, a new 1 bedroom terrace in Stamford for £7750, as a Cpl in the RAF I was paid approx £7100/yr. We had it easy back then.
