BoE said inflation was a temporary blip

It's amazing inflation is only 4.5% when the price of everything is shooting up at 30% and product sizes are decreasing at the same rate. The guy who fiddles those figures deserves a knighthood. -

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I think AtW was on about Merv's recent knighthood:Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostRussian humour.

Well done Merv. It's hard work having to photocopy that letter to the exchequer every month to explain why interest rates are staying at 0.5% and how inflation is only a 'temporary blip'.
I'd be laughing too if it wasn't for the devaluing of my warchest, which is still in sterling as I don't have a clue where to invest it that is both 100% safe (or as safe as the bank) and easy to access.
