Rip - rpi !
Haha - the government had to ditch it's plans to get pensions etc. uprated annually by CPI instead of RPI because there would have been countless legal challenges. So now they want to 'adjust' (reduce) RPI bringing the two more into line. Moving the goalpost or what?
(Incidentally there have been times when CPI was higher than RPI for short periods - if those conditions return the penny-pinchers may come unstuck.)
