Well, now that the clouds have parted and we can see at least a little of what is to come, what does this change in government mean to us?
On the plus side, we've got rid on Gordon and his NI rise. This has to be a plus.
Other than that? Nobody seems too sure at the moment what the Cleggeroon will do. Lots of pro-business talking, and lots of warnings of tough times to come. I'm still expecting huge increases in duty on alcohol - it's one of the few soft targets that they have left top aim at.
That is all the great crystal ball is saying for now. Look out for a budget of some description in the very near future, which should give us more info.
Until then it's continue to batten down the hatches as time are going to be tough. Whatever there is to come, you can bet that the prices that you have to charge are going to rise, and that the disposable income in people's pockets is going to shrink. Not a good combination in any climate, but with the current bleak outlook this is not going to be fun.
