A mixture of continued wet weather and high food inflation means Brits will have to pay even more
Brits are being warned that the price of a popular household staple is likely about to go up in a fresh hit to people's finances. Like the rest of the world, the UK has been hit with huge rises in the cost of food.
Bread is bought by approximately 99 per cent of British households, with more than 10 million loaves sold a day. But the wet spring we have all endured means the cost is likely going to soar. The UK has had one of the wettest winters on record, and this could mean the UK needs to import more from abroad - which will cost more money than homegrown produce. The persistent wet weather is causing issues for the planting of spring crops like barley, which could result in higher costs for brewers and distillers, potentially leading to more expensive pints.
