PRICE HIKES

I've only been back in the UK a couple of days and I am already noticing how prices seemingly have increased since I was last here 10 months ago. Take fuel for example. The price for unleaded fuel is now 106p per litre. I think it was only 98p in April.
I expected to be comparing and converting UK prices to Thai baht, after all I earn baht so it's only natural, but the UK is very expensive and it's a wonder how any Thai tourists can afford to come here.
