We now have the world's worst performing currency. It's pretty inevitable that prices will soon start to rise.
Difficult times and choices are ahead. I reckon now is the time to get in a hefty price rise before anyone else does.
Yes let's all follow Unilever's lead, that worked out well
Sorry George but screw all the scare mongering.
The pound was bound to drop after the referendum. What happens when Mr Trump becomes US president and immediately goes about setting up a trade agreement with the UK, ahead of the EU....The pound will see record rises.
Well Trump has a mountain to climb as he's 10 points behind, but leaving fantasy aside there will be inflation. Fuel will be up 5p a litre within a few weeks. We are a service economy and most of what we buy is imported.
And as the referendum also highlighted, the polls aren't always right.
Fuel prices were already going to rise after Russia's agreement with opec recently, regardless of what the pound was doing.
Fuel is a fluctuating commodity, prices will always rise and fall.
If you enforce big price rise across the board now based on a current weak pound, will you decrease your prices in the near future if, for whatever reason, the pound suddenly rises!
Now is the worst possible time for price rises. The media attention to Unilever has drawn the public's attention towards greedy, unjustified rises in uncertain economic times.
The government must be working on plans to stabilise the pound and the economy to leave it so long to trigger article 50.
