Paying through the nose for various bills and to live day to day life is not a good thing.

Sometimes we are being taken for a ride by our local government, local councils and central government too.

Todays podcast looks at a raft of recent stories from the UK that include:

* Latest Government Infrastructure projects and why they are good but probably very inflationary

* Council Tax Bill increases of up to 25%!!!

* Water Bills going up

* How funny/sad it is that travelling from Cornwall to Cheshire is cheaper via Malaga than using the UK rail network

* A potential inflation hedging solution (not a financial recommendation)
