    Might start looking at more acres though, if they come up, but it's around 7k an acre down there

    WTF???!? I click on the calculator to see if it made me poorer... here..

    BBC News - Calculate your inflation rate

    Fill all the details in.. Left Full Time Education at 16 and employed and the result is...

    Households like yours spend more than average on: Education
    Households like yours spend less than average on: Housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels
    Your inflation rate is most like that of Peppa Pig’s family. Find out why.
    How does it tell me that I spent more than average on Education when I left free schooling at 16??!

    And ******* Peppa pig? WTF!?!? I click to see what this crap is about and find this page...

    BBC News - Inflation secrets of the TV families

    Peppa Pig
    Household size: 4
    Number of children: 2
    Age: 35
    Employment status: Employed
    Age left full-time education: 23
    Income: £48,000
    What the **** is the BBC doing? I have never seen so much crap, linked through to a serious article.. Not the BBC's usual standards. V Disappointed.
