As well as fuel, shopping, etc don't forget you will be paying 2 1/2% more for:-

Electricity
Gas
Water
Oil for heating
Telephone
Internet
Mobile phones
New cars (Chance will be a fine thing, but also second hand cars)
Electrical items
Cd's DVD's
Alcohol, ciggies
Garage costs, servicing, MOT's
Clothing

Not sure about postage, prescriptions, road tax, rates, they will probably sneek up as well.

We've just bought some new furniture today. The shop reported manic trading and theyre open extended hours.

Put quite simply sales aside its not just us who have fitted in a years furniture shopping before the 4th.

If we went in tomorrow our little spree would have cost £112 more, all straight to the chancellor nothing at all for us.

bollocks to em

dont know bout gas but would Oil for heating go up by 2.5% as the vat on that is only 5% not 17.5% and they did not reduce the 5% band when they took off 2.5% of the 17.5% i thought it was on the 17.5% band but bet they will put the rest up as well

i'd say if theres something you want to buy but can wait, then do so as
in few weeks retailers will have to reduce prices to offset no one buying
cos vats gone up. certainly on things like tvs if computers.

when vat went down before we got all sort of odd prices, then things
settled and started getting the £xxx.99 type prices again.

certainly was rushing out for a new tv for sake of saving £10-15 in vat
increase, now when analog goes off in yorks this year might be another
matter, yep will buy a set top box lol
