Pie 'n' mash, and whelks gone up this week?
it does say its because electrical goods in discount sales brought it down.
Well I might be on my own thinking this but fuel prices are up, which effects all other prices food, deliveries etc. gas and electric has gone up and unless you go shopping for electrical goods everyday you might notice all the prices in the shops and supermarkets are up. A cig cost 32p each now all the beer and spirits are up Ive just got my car tax renewal and thats up by £6 for 6 months...need I go on
yep ive noticed which is giving the public less money to spend so more companies are going into administration Find UK businesses in administration and list of distressed companies
wonder if house prices are included
I can see your point now, if you just drink one of them you might feel like you have a bit more money
The price of printed teeshirts or sweatshirts has not gone down though
But the price of John Smiths Beer has gone down in the Railway its now £1.80 a pint
They didn't go up in June either ( our suppliers put their prices up on July 4th ), so a t-shirt and a pint of beer will cost you less , that means the government figures are right
My sister is currently over from France ( She's lived there ~ 18 years now) and commented that food is much cheaper and public transport horrendously more expensive. Electrical goods appear cheaper but obviously Wine much dearer(although beer is similar).
IMHO some prices have gone up but some have dropped, electricals are always a hard point to use in discussion of inflation as from one year to the next due to teh fact that teh prices stay teh same but you just get more for your money... e.g. TVs are still around 2-500 quid, but you now get Full HD, LCDs with internet access etc built in where as 10 years ago the prices were similar but you were probably getting a old style CRT.... ditto PCs, prices stay stable, specs go up.

2-500 quid entwisi,
I take it you mean £2500, in which case I'll definitely keep well away from the firm you deal with, I have a 42in Plasma HD 3D telly which didn't cost less than half of that price mate
John, I think he might have meant between £200 and £500.
It is the things like Bread, milk, butter etc that are going up in leaps and bounds...and the things that don't appear to have risen in price have shrunk in size.......200grms of cheese in a pack that used to be 300 grms...which is a price rise, a hidden one.
I never believe the figures that any government put out...they are invariably massaged in some way to make the current incumbents look good, rather that to inform the general public. Just a sound bite.......of no earthly value.

I,m with you on that one Margaret.
Its not the government that put these figures out though Margaret
Isn't it a government manipulated agency John?
