the media like to hype this up.
its the established view that its an extra £1000 per household . per year
thats £20 per week
my profile targeted customer doesn't even notice this I hope ?
I hope im not wrong , but its 30 years for me now and I havnt found any difference when these things happen .
of course this could be different
It’s the established view that the current price increase for the average home will be £693 now and could be an extra £350 in October plus the possibility of another £1,000 a year if it all goes pear shaped regards the war in the Ukraine. And after today’s announcement by the E.U, U.S.A. and U.K. it’s going in that direction.
So that’s £150 a month extra. That’s huge for some people. If your customer demographic is 20/30/40 something year olds I’d be expecting some cancellations.

I think we’re spoilt as well, our wage can increase very quickly if we want.
People on set wages suddenly find they’re £150 a month less off, that’s a big chunk for the working population under 50 with big mortgages etc.
I don’t think I’ll mose much at all, most of my customers are older and fairly wealthy, but I do anticipate a slow down in new customers come the next winter.
Some of our best friends are teachers, both on high 30’s salary’s, they’re feeling the pinch already. It’s set wages that wallop them. They’ve got a nice merc with a loan, recent mortgage, 2 kids etc etc, so the Inflation is really effecting them, they are seeing less money in the bank each month. Of course, 12 months ago they were fine, no one could have predicted it…
People with large domestic rounds in working class areas may well see a significant drop in customers.
It’s such an individual issue, one thing I am annoyed about is having to shell out £140 for diesel! Just feels wrong!
