    Fuel's up by 38% though - anyone with only a 28% pay rise must be really feeling the pinch:(

    EDIT: CPI up by 17% since Jan 2007 - some people might actually be better off than 2007!

    sorry have to admit an error its 17% but i think it still illistrates the point that although gross wages have increased 13% net have increased 17%.

    Welcome as new member,in this place the goalposts can be placed where ever suits.
    Next we'll be comparing fuel cost from 1971?

    Goalpost moving alright when your buddies can make a point from it then? Don't see you complaining that wotsthat and carper are now using it!

    I love this forum!

    In all the confusion, I've lost track of what this thread is about now. Something to do with house prices going up?

    Just wait until you see a thread about house prices going down.

    Treading water in the current circumstances doesn't seem too hard to bear.

    I expect so - Nationwide data does seem a bit up and down.

    They are all a bit up one month and a bit down the next. A natural response of a static market.
