Get Out of Dodge!

From the Scotsman.com

The cost of our basic groceries are shooting up dramatically at a time when soaring petrol costs are already hitting motorists in the pocket. Michael Blackley wonders whether there is any respite in sight.
AT this time of year, millions of people across the country are waiting with anticipation – or trepidation – to see what impact their annual pay review will have on them.

An employee on the average Edinburgh salary of around £30,000 may expect to see something in the region of £85 added to their monthly wage, based on last year’s average earnings rise. And even that figure may be optimistic this year given the current economic climate.
