sadie's looking forward to. there's only a certain price limit to what people will pay for a hotel room, so you can't put your prices up too much, otherwise people just aren't going to come — and particularly if they're all feeling the squeeze, too, with their own energy prices. from light to heat to shopping bills, staff are feeling the pain of those expensive prices at home as well. i know that everything — fuel, you know, heating, everything — is going up. — so it's got to be passed on to us. but if we're not earning — which were not, because you can't when you're not... you know, when it's quiet like this, _ i'm not in as much as i would normally be. so i can't earn. as wages aren't rising as much as prices, pay packets aren't stretching as far. these inflation figures are the first we have of the new year, and i'd love to be able to give more positive news for 2022,
