Thanks Isatou and Momodou,
Looking at these prices its a pity that one cannot survive on a bag of Onions and pepper!!
With wages not increasing for the average worker,they make grim reading.
The following from the Point may be of some interest.

"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.
