    Prices of Oxo, Bisto and Mr Kipling to rise after pound's Brexit plunge

    Shoppers will have to pay more for Oxo stock cubes, Bisto gravy and Mr Kipling cakes as the firm behind the brands prepares to raise prices to offset the fall in the pound triggered by the Brexit vote.

    Premier Foods, which also owns Homepride, Batchelors and Ambrosia rice pudding, will become the latest in a string of companies to offset the weakness of sterling after Unilever clashed with Tesco over the price of products including Marmite.

    The news comes as a survey showed supermarket prices had risen over Christmas for the first time in more than two years, underlining expectations that household budgets will come under increased pressure in 2017.

        Why aren't we rendering out own cows? We don't need EU cows, we have cows of our own don't we? Ah, we did have cows of our own, until the EU gave more subsidies to farmers to keep the land fallow. I see the interim rising of prices as a good thing, short-term pain for long-term gain. I hope that once again the UK will produce its own cows for rendering into OXO cubes and Bisto. Let's make British gravy great again


        Just don't mention BSE

          The guy's turning/turned into a larger flangefraggle than sasguru.

            I'm in discussions with a few local farms at the moment to setup a co-op farm shop. Locally sourced, untouched by foreign hands, support your local economy. We've already started working on a new brand of milk called 'Straight from the Cow', some new cheeses & yogurts and more importantly cheaper veg. As we're not sorting it and grading it, we can see it cheaper. I was going to call it AtW Veg, but we decided Ugly Veg was just the same.

                Look. We can wait. Once Brexit kicks in, he'll be out of this country quicker than Julian Assange will find himself in Sweden if he pops out for a Costa Coffee.

                  We are going to have to weigh up the cost and benefits of Brexit when it comes.

                  Freedom from the EUssr, our own laws, our own borders, our own military, ability to control immigration, £350m per week in EU fees saved

                  vs

                  5p more for a box of minging mass produced French Fancies.

                  Atw will think it over and report back.
