As a piece of technology, surely women shouldn't be allowed near it.  Female tecjnology peaked with the mangle....

I agree. Although females who can demonstrate they are responsible may be allowed access to  an iron and ironing board.

Many of the items that make the 8.7% rate are items we don't buy from one week to the next, like a wide screen TV or fridge.

Food we buy and consume on a daily basis.

4 pints of milk was £1 until quite recently. Now £1.55....so a rise of 55%. Eggs much the same.

I bet the farmers aren't getting any more!  >:(

I really can't see why they bother. Really hard life with loneliness causing mental health problems in quite a few. No money and no thanks.

Many top themselves.

Men under forty are also prone to suicide at a high rate.

Family pressure mostly, they get handed down "the family farm" and with it the responsibility of keeping it in the family for future generations. I think I've only met one set of farmers in my life who were happy with their lot, and they grow potatoes almost exclusively for Maccy's with a side hustle of petal confetti.  :-*

Cannot be anything worse than financial issues, especially when working hard for very little rewards.

8.7%......down from 10.1%

However, food inflation is 19.1% and we all have to eat. :-X
I've just been in the local CO OP, the Lurpak butter is in alarmed plastic cases which have to be opened at the till  ;D
I haven't had a Ginsters pasty for ages, but I remember them being about £1. In the same CO OP, 50p off, £2 instead of £2.50.

Famous for their gristle, connective tissue and meat of unknown origin, mixed with a couple of bits of spud and carrot.

I'm not sure the contents of a Ginsters pasty can be described as 'ingredients'.... :D

More like toxic waste dipped in some sort of barely edible slurry. :-X
