A Moderate Price Increase


No, not from Instanta. This was the heading on a letter received today from a supplier. So what do you think that the moderate price increase was? 2%? 3%? 4% even? No way. The "Moderate price increase" is a massive 12%. What hope for inflation? You will be pleased to know that we have no price increases planned for the time being.



It was great to see that Seattle Sea Hawks had a big win against St Louis Rams yesterday. You may wonder why but our son Paul is a huge fan of NFL and was lucky enough to get to see the game whilst on holiday in Seattle with his girlfriend's family. We have been with him to see his favourite New York Jets but I know that he was really keen to see the Sea Hawks and hope that he had a great time.


I went to Anfield on Saturday. The statistics said 75% possession and 25 shots to Liverpool against 25% possession and 1 shot for Stoke but if you had seen our shooting you would not have bet on them scoring if they had carried on playing for another 90 minutes.






Here is the iron age (probably) item that I found last week with my metal detector. Not a particularly brilliant find but a very old artefact.

Still no competition winners. Looks like simple arithmetic is not our customers' strong point.

Perhaps this will help.
