    Sorry Generali, I really have no idea how you have come to the conclusion I was suggesting Mervyn King was a dunce. :undecided

    Maybe the discussions has simply been railroaded now, so I give up.

    My apologies, on re-reading I can see I was wrong.

    How ... Unexpected.

    :D

    Yep. I'm sure the BoE are really surprised too. ;)
    They're not bothered by a few years of 4-5%. Never have been never will while this situation persists. Just because they can't/won't admit that doesn't mean it's not the case.
    Ooooo I'm coming over all naerlynew.... spin and bullshine etc

    No he didn't say that. He's said it in the past but didn't this time. People are allowed to change their mind!

    Why does Merv keep telling us that he expects inflation to fall soon ? Either he is a bit rubbish at his job, or he is lying. I suggest he keeps quiet, or starts telling the truth. Maybe some of us will then start to have confidence in him.

    So once I say something, i'm never allowed to reaccess what I stated as time moves on and policies are implemented?
