OK, to mid 2022, it took 19 years.

So we've seen this just huge, like.

compression of time over which we've seen this big escalation in prices.

Wages haven't caught up, which is why it creates this huge pressure and flows through to people experiencing it really materially in terms of being able to put food on the table.

But I think it also shows that people are coming into this crisis

without any resilience.

Their coping mechanisms have kind of been worn out.

Savings have been worn down.

The ability to be able to absorb yet another rise is much worse than it was when this first started back in 2022 because people have been worn down essentially and economically.

My name is Mrs. Rosina Yates of Coney Hill.

Why do you come?

Because the price of the food can't afford food.

I'm 65 this year.

That's changed the way I eat, my diet.

You just can't do it.

You're frightened to put their lights on now because of the price of the electric and the gas.

That's why people like somebody like me that's on Universal Credit, people are frightened to cook with their gas or their electric.

It's awful.

That's why people like me are living off sandwiches.

Because you can't afford to do it.
