Where's all our money going Mr Prime minister?

Well it's a pretty miserable end to May, I'm in trousers and shoes, and I'm cold and that suggests to me that its not very warm. I'm hoping that all those half term holidayers are finding some interesting things inside to spend their money on, because if the fuel prices increase any more they will all be stuck - if not from lack of fuel then from all the blockading lorries!

Its not only fuel that's hitting the pocket of the consumer, food prices are at a 14 year high, and are currently rising at more than three times the rate of inflation, the sale of house hold goods has taken a 1.9% nosedive, its largest fall since 2005, co-op are on a mission to sell their unwanted Somerfield stores, and despite this M&S profits are soaring?!

I'm not entirely sure where the government are going with tax since the department of the man that is married to Cherie, either he got it all wrong or the Scotsman has serious problems, but what effect is this really having on our small retail outlets and our businesses? Why don't you let me know??
