Apropos of building and construction:
What was the rate in 2019? Construction related firms going pop was never an unusual thing anyway, for quite a few people it's a regular habit. Construction Enquirer said:
6,000 company insolvencies expected in 2023

I think the expectation that everything grinds to a halt is silly. Many houses owned outright in the UK, lots of people have had significant payrises etc in recent years. No commuting costs for others due to WFH.
It’ll smash a lot of people but there will be plenty who aren’t that fussed over it all.

Got the dreaded email from my daughter's nursery today about fee increases.
They're putting them up 20pc in April.
Got away with 10% here. Now a tidy £2025 per month. Dulwich College costs less!They're putting them up 20pc in April.
I thought 10% was actually pretty fair given the amount of energy and food they get through.
