Just a thought.

I expect most will have thought of it already, but with the £ at its present level against other currencies, if any parts are needed from UK sources, perhaps it’s time to grab them before they have to restock.

Yeah Marmite lol.

Yep, Marmite too, though I can’t quite understand what part of it needs importing. I was talking to a parts place earlier and 10 to 20% is on the cards. Anything that’s not UK made from materials sourced in the UK (which seems to be quite a lot of things) is in for a hike.

Marmite for one.

I think these price hikes are an artificial rip off, firms jumping on the bandwagon.

I tend to agree, though the post referendum unnecessary decrease in base rate and scaremongering that has gone on is at least partly responsible for engineering the situation. The hiatus is also not helpful.
