Should we up sticks and move?

Is it just a UK thing – that everything around us seems to be shooting up in price I mean? We’ve just about come to accept constant energy rises as inevitable. And so everything linked to those must go the same way I suppose...and the same with raw materials. OK, it’s obviously not just a UK thing, but are we worse off here than elsewhere, and to what extent is the situation here restricting company growth? Is there anything we can do to better help ourselves? Any ideas, let me and everyone else know!
