Sorry, what?
The CPI figures are the total from dec 08, dec 09, and dec 2010.
Which does indeed cover the three year period from the end of 2007 to the start of 2011.
Its really not that interesting that you saw a prior edit since corrected.
Though it is interesting that you don't appear to have your facts right.
It is the same date range.
LOL... you can keep telling whatever makes you happy, blinkered isnt the word!Plan

50% of the workforce in the UK (if not more) is public sectorAnything to substantiate that assertion.
Ask your local MP if you want it substantiated... lolPlan

You appear to have started at 2008 with RPI.
Yet started at 2007 with CPI.
You've added an additional year?
No. I haven't. CPI/RPI dec 2008 covers the year from the end of 2007 to the start of 2011.
CPI 2008 3.1
CPI 2009 2.9
CPI 2010 3.7
TOTAL 9.7%.
(okay, typo, I said 9.1, now corrected)
I'm sure a minor semantic point can be turned into a major pedantic squabble if need be.
But really, I've measured CPI exactly the same way as I measured RPI.
From the end of 2007 to the start of 2011.
Which is really what you would expect right?
Hence we can all move on.0 -

he is trying to be smart with words, to make it right... end of 2007 to start of 2011... in other words 2008-10 plus 2 days, however, im not sure of a statistic that gives a daily CPI figure, hence what he meant was 2008-10Plan

I'm asking you.
How to you validate that figure.
Median salaries have increased. End of.
What other measure do you think is more appropriate?
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=285Though it just so happens that the same stats say
The difference between the median level of full-time earnings in the public sector (£554 per week) and the private sector (£473 per week) widened over the year to April 2010, following annual increases of 3.0 per cent and 2.0 per cent respectively.
Which rather suggests that public sector pay increased by more than private sector.
Will you get anything at all right batchy?0 -
2007 104.7 2.3
2008 108.5 3.6
2009 110.8 2.2

Median salaries can increase if you sack everybody in the lower ranks.0
