crusty About me: I am 62, retired and have never married. I live in a little cottage in the Yorkshire Dales with my presant cat Sarah. Why I like surveys: Apart from my relatives considering me to be an opinionated old whatsit,they give something to do and the cash helps with the cat treats.

006.5 By: 006.5Date: 14 Feb 2012 2:16 PM I am definitely worse off than this time last year and the inflation rate on 14th february 2011 was also 3.6%. It was the varying inflation rates during the past 12 months that made me worse off. | |

Fikinz By: FikinzDate: 14 Feb 2012 4:21 PM No, because now VAT is not added in to the figure, so it is being calculated differently. | |
LizzieAnn About me: I love surveys! You can't tell from reading any of my posts, though, can you?! I am a full time worker with two children and a full time house husband, are you jealous? Why I like surveys: They are fun, interesting and lucrative, not to mention the fact that they can lead to amazing things! By: LizzieAnnDate: 15 Feb 2012 12:37 PM You are so right, Fi, it is about massaging the figures so they look good to the public, I think, a bit of PR from our leaders!! A wee bit like the way they calculate the unemployment figures, I think!! | |
