In November last year a standard pack of supermarket own brand butter was 87 pence.
Two days ago that same pack of butter was £1.60.
An increase of just over 85%
But officially inflation is around 2-3 %
Do I believe official government statistics or the evidence of actual price rises in the real world?
It's the price of butter, believe it or not there is a real shortage of butter. Apparently a lot is being exported to China, France is actually enjuring a shortage of the stuff, none on the shelves.
Gammon. And proud!
