The report also predicts that we will become the most expensive eurozone country later in the year. Eating out, drinking out and groceries are the items that hit the wallet hardest. As a nation we probably do not complain enough. We are too laid back. We notice groceries getting more expensive all the time. Every week something seems to go up, but we are a dead loss at complaining. Eating out and socialising are the worst value for money. One expects to pay high prices at the top restaurants but one is badly served in middle range restaurants. One ends up paying above premium prices for an average return but nothing ever happens for we are not a nation of complainers.
