Life In the UK

It would appear that people heading for the UK should be ready for some heavy price hikes! This was taken an article in the InvestmentWatch. Jim

If people are only heading to the UK now then surely it doesnt matter what price these things were a year ago?
I also doubt this increase in prices is strictly limited to UK either.

Edit:
Sorry, misread the older date.

Not sure if this would not be replicated here to a certain extent thanks to rising international commodity prices.
Also the UK has hiked VAT in recent months and that may explain a large part of the increases , VAT still lower there than here.

It would be interesting to get some comparisons, but so far I have not found a good source....

Probably better suited for the economics forum.
