Inflation, what inflation?

The £5 bell I bought from Halfords around the time I bought my bike in the Spring of 2015 had the temerity to break the other day.

I returned to Halfords in Guildford where I had bought the first bell to buy a new one. The stock levels seemed quite depleted, perhaps due to the general supply issues, or maybe to save money and I thought I might be out of luck.

Then I spied a bell very like the one I had bought from them originally. The price. £4.99.

Wow, no change in price at all, if only all the food in my supermarket was the same, or indeed the cost of my gas and electricity.

Incidentally riding my bike without a bell for a few days has been a nightmare.

computer parts prices are up a bit but top end stuff like gfx cards are coming down as no one has spare cash for stuff like this or bells lol.

and no custom fees either yet a tub of lurpak butter costs £7
