Once the economic pressures kick in? Mine started about 92 in oz, continued here when I got here (I was working for £2.50 ph when I got here), got worse in 2006, then slightly better for a couple of years and downhill again since. I own a 99 Micra and a couple of guitars, and I make rent (just) each month. I don't think it's going to get better before it gets a lot worse.
Cheers
The Micra is my workhorse, btw or I'd do without that too. It's more 4wd than most middle class SUVs!
