This will translate to about 3% on RPI - I see interest rate rises to keep a lid on this...

Makes me glad I don't eat kippers.

Inflation - basket of goods

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7300234.stm

Fruit smoothies, muffins and portable digital storage devices have all been added to a typical basket of UK goods, used to measure inflation.

Another item that will be something like "1GB memory" which will fall and fall in price as the technology moves has been added to the "weekly shop". No wonder inflation is so low.

FFS.
