UK inflation rate falls to 4.8% in November

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16154965
The fall was partly due to a slowdown in the rise in food and non-alcoholic drink prices.
Cereals and bread prices fell by 1% in the month, compared with a 1.9% increase a year ago.

Tesco oats went up 24p since last week :D

    I'm gonna put the money I've saved from the decrease in monthly inflation together with the increase in house prices this month and use it to go on holiday.

    Me me me me....

    Thats what all you posts are about, and with about 90% probability I would say you are making most of it up. The other day I also noted that you were whittling on about having no debt along with some other amazing fact about your life, which has now escaped me.

    This board is not about YOU, it's about the broad economy, what is happening in general. I too have have zero debt along with savings(and that's what you was bragging about, remember now), I have also been preparing for the last two years for what is about to happen. But what I have done is irrelevant to what most people have done, and what a dire and bad place many people are now sadly in.

    If anyone on here was taking you seriously I would be quite annoyed for you giving them false hope, but there is fat chance of that.

    double digit payrise? what utter horse5hit
    not one company in britain is handing out pay rises like that

    not to mention that you're on here several hours a day, or that you claim to have multiple buy to lets, plus you claim to have a lavish lifestyle consistent with the top 0.5% of the population, and yet you also have a paid job.......and yet you also claim to be living the high life in semi-retirement? have you heard yourself? you are so contradictory it's ridiculous

    i await the brilliant response where you tell me to go and pay my landlords mortgage..... and that you are buying the empire state building as a weekend pad.....and the QE2 as a treat for yourself...and a ferrari F1 car as a run around for the wife

    He will be tied up with the Meals on Wheels lady for a little while. She always stops to natter to the sad old boys like MrRee. She might have brought him a Thomas Cook brochure so he can cut the pictures out and pop them on his wall. Oh happy days.

    He's lying if he says that, as I have said many times, I have no intention of selling either of them until the market picks up.
