    As others have stated before on MSE, is that how you speak to people in the real world Chucky? Were you maybe bullied at school Chucky? ;)
    ahh we're getting personal are we. were you abused as a child by any chance, it would make sense the way you behave on here... :)

    another one that likes to make it personal and dish it out but can't take it.

    Go to so much effort to find quotes 3 years back, to post up how wrong I was, and then come back with "its only the internet".

    Caps lock not needed. I'm just going to say thankyou and offer you a larger spade from the shed. :)

    Scuse me?

    How can stating on this forum for the past 2 years inflation will increase, not fall back, make me wrong!?

    For what it's worth, I've suggested inflation will probably now fall back middle of next year.

    Don't turn into chucky. Just because I don't agree with a policy, doesn't mean I'm angry for pities sake.

    You may have been saying this Graham, I don't know but then that's NOT what you said in the post I quoted.

    You said:

    "Still believe, like many others, a rate rise would be beneficial over the long term.

    Still believe the longer we hold off raising rates, the more normal it all becomes, and the bigger the misery when they do actually rise."


    Yes, and just because you believe these things doesn't mean you are right.

    You said:

    "Still think the BOE had it wrong. I got laughed at 2 years ago on here for suggesting inflation would go up. Told I didn't know what I was on about and deflation was more likely to happen."

    If the BoE had done as you had advised 2 years ago and raised rates then perhaps we would have seen deflation. Certainly if we take out the VAT rise, the rises from imported items such as oil, gas and food then perhaps we are still looking at deflation. We hardly have a booming economy do we?

    No we don't. Let's hope that things quickly improve, eh ?
