However seening that Jan's inflation rate is a bit high I guess those in power are waiting to see if Feb's rate is a bit lower then they can justify giving us less
Unfortunately the inflation rate won't work like that as far as Gordon is concerned. Higher inflation rates mean that he is more likely to try and cap any public sector rises to keep inflation under control rather than allowing a pay rise that actually means something.

Anyway, which of this week's made up inflation figures are you talking about? If we're lucky it will be in the region of 3%, but my money is on it being abotu 2.75%.

Thanks for nothing Tony.
