Postman in London Fights Inflation by Brewing Beer
London postman Terry Hodges, his wife June, and two children face rising costs with 42 hours a week plus overtime. Inflation cuts food and clothing budgets, drives up rent, and forces homegrown meals and DIY buys as they cope with higher taxes, scarce affordable goods, and a six year mortgage-like pressure. The family relies on overtime, government benefits, and a desire for a simple seaside day trip while delaying major purchases and contemplating future financial strain.
