"Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.

If it is 0.25% as widely expected; Will this be reported in the press as a shock or big news? or glossed over as if nothing happened.
Or Conspiry theory here - I bet a big rise in interest rates that the press will ignore as his holiness is stepping down on Thursday. A good day to bury bad news?0 -

In reality they should be going up at least 1%..0 -

Einstein theory is that inflation is over 50% above target...
