    Inflation holds at 3.4% but mostly because petrol is cheap.
    Food prices are climbing steeply again.

    And petrol will go up sharply because of the fighting in the Middle East.
    I expect headline inflation to top 5% next month.

    "Events, dear boy, events" as Harold McMillan said, when asked what he feared most in politics.

    Bad news if you own one of several certain Citroen car makes...
    Around 120,000 people.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0m8872n9gxo

    Citroen have simply switched them off and told drivers they can't use them.
    Or if they haven't switched them off, I assume drivers will not be covered by their insurance if they dare to drive them.
    Owing to a fatal accident I hear, involving a faulty air bag.
    Oh dear.
    Don't go buying one of those again.

    Tracey is a legend. Really like her and her passion for the club. Would have made a great captain.

    Maybe.
    Still, seems like uncalled for tinkering. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Real shame that Tracey is leaving her role. I wonder if she felt that with her son there and growing older she needed to give him space? It comes very soon after his contract extension

    Leaving suddenly at this time to find a new challenge? :huh:. There will be plenty of speculation as to the real reason. I hope that the truth emerges.
