Coping with Inflation

If you were like me this week,and was horrified at the prices at your local Wellcome, welcome to the inflationary new world! I’m not sure how many of you are coping – but for today’s inspirational word, let me leave you with a quote Randy Bungga gave me over a pint at McSorleys:

“It’s easy to halve the potato where there’s love.” Dr Randy claims it’s an old Irish proverb.

    They got dolphins caught in the same nets as tuna. It’s just SICK!

    actually the original Irish proverb reads: “It’s easy to have three halves of the potato when there’s nothing left in the pot” but i get your point…

    pints = good / inflation = bad

    Inflation is a complex economic instrument, and is neither to be underestimated nor toyed with. Actually, inflation is not always a bad thing, although I understand it might not seem so when you get to the supermarket cashier. I hope at least she gave you a pretty smile!
