Try using RPI and not CPI. RPI is more realistic for most people.

Only if you have a big tracker mortgage. If you don't then try RPIX.

For middle aged & retired people without mortgages all the Government measures for inflation are unrealistic.

For people in the 'grey' category, the majority of expenses are in food/clothes/energy/fuel/council tax.
Most people in this category are looking at personal inflation in excess of 6% pa. so the savage cut in interest rates is a double whammy!

Very true! And mostly energy/fuel and council tax, I think - we can cut down on new clothes and food.

Council taxes have to rise by 4% to 5%.
Because they have to house and furnish all the free loading Imigrants.
This country is a complete joke!!!!!!
responsible hard working people are the fall guys
