hughjass replied to ExeC-UK's topic in House prices and the economy
Retired house paid for , £1200 per month pension income enjoy watching what is happening but am more worried about the state of the economy and price rises than I can evedr remember, Been on here for 15 years expecting a huge crash, maybe will happen this winter. -
Can someone paste the article for us, I dont want to fill in a subscription to the FT. I worked for Samworth Brothers who had 3 factories making sandwiches for Tesco and others, they had over 1000 employees at 1 of the sites in Leicester many of the workers were asians then when the EEs were allowed in they took up many of the jobs, Not sure what the situstion is now, COVID really hammered their business.

Energy prices through the roof
hughjass replied to NoHPCinTheUK's topic in House prices and the economy
decided to panic early. I bought 600kgs coal and 4 tons of kiln dried logs. £850. Last time I heard Coal was £400 a ton, so how much is wood for a ton. Will that be your winter sorted ?? Where are you? I am a bit of a1/2 glass empty type of guy nad think its going to be very grim this winter lets hope for a mild one. -

hughjass replied to henry the king's topic in House prices and the economy
Heres some anecdotal news on the Brick sector. Ibstock have put a 30% surcharge on for Energy costs. Michekmarsh are closing their hand made brick department at Shepshed. They cant make it pay , Not sure how many are being made redundant. Expect more news of this type from now on. -

hughjass replied to henry the king's topic in House prices and the economy
I nearly mentioned that there are lots of flash motors,not many Dacias and old bangers. It appears that the showhomes are now open and no need to book an appointment for a viewing so will go and have a look -
Germany inflation is 7.9%
hughjass replied to henry the king's topic in House prices and the economy
I dont know if I agree with that, theyve just given everyone £400 for their energy bills they can think of something for homeowners. Today I have been on a bit of a tour in my town round some of the new deve;opments going up. They are from Davidsons Barratts, David Wilson, Cadeby homes and Redrow, I was taking a leisurely ride round on my pushbike they all look very similar small windows, Georgian style small frontage to the road and closely packed in to each other. Most of these are 350 k and over in the East Midlands, many had nice motors outside as well. When it hits the fan there will be carnage on these new estates. -

Right to Buy to be expanded to help generation rent
hughjass replied to coypondboy's topic in House prices and the economy
Reminds me of Auberon Waugh in his Sunday Telegraph column about 30 years ago, he thought those at the bottom of the ladder should live in Portacabin shanty towns till they had the deposit for a house. Someones making some serious money at these caravan parks. I live in Nw Leics and a lot of Holiday lodges seem to be being put on sites some are upwards of 300k for a 50 year lease , then you have the running costs on top.
