oops - didn't quite get that prediction right re waiting for the inflation announcement. Perhaps I should work in the Treasury and forecast manning levels for the next 5 years
Can't get it much worse.
Did notice the hidden pay rise intention for next year though. Pension benefit comparison reduced from 7% to 4% from Apr 07. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this mean a pay rise
before inflation of around 3% next year. i.e. if it had happened last year, this year's rise would be 6.3%?
Please tell me I'm being too optimistic
