Have any of you noticed how the speculators are steadily conditioning us to accept high prices next year by releasing all kinds of panic inducing snippets about various shortages that might occur IF and when events happen that
could affect the price of different commodities. I remember before the housing boom here how estate agents were "talking up" house prices - a self fulfilling prophecy blown up out of all proportion and not helped by the Media printing and broadcasting the speculation. Remember how Sugar prices went up and never really recovered, likewise flour and chocolate etc.? The same thing happens periodically with fuel prices. We never seem to learn. Elderflower
