My last blog of this long, long series. I end with a tribute to my late father, who modestly claimed a touch of genius robgpoole.co.uk/geoff-poole/

Geoff Poole - Khrushchev's Shoe

My Dad died. It happened in 2022, long after my Mother had gone. In the final few years, he lived with my sister. He remained remarkable fit until he was 90, then he gradually died, always good...

Remember, again, inflation may be down, but prices are much higher than they were 3 years ago. Prices are not coming down. They are rising more slowly.

Replying to @resfoundation
The big shift in prices has come via a huge rise in the relative cost of essentials. Energy is up by 90% and food up by 31%, compared with overall prices rising 22%. Importantly, while *inflation* is falling, high prices will be with us for the foreseeable future.
