It's basically an attempt to force people not to interact socially at work
Which is a bitch move
All inflation measure are bullshit, Wacka, because of the basket mechanisms
And I think most people know it
Because what they experience doesn't match what we're being told
You don't, OrionStarTrucker, you fucking conform and shut up
well most people are misinformed 😛
Nope
It's all bollocks
I can give you two examples of why the basket mechanism is bollocks
minerals waters, soft drinks and juices was up 1.5%
sugar, jam, syrups, choc and confectionary down -2.1%
veg up 1.6% ... theyre tryina make us unhealthy!
Take "4 cans of lager". Say it was £5 one year. Next year, they reduce the size of the cans from 568ml to 500ml (happened a lot when we went metric), the inflation measure says no change in price
Because harassment can be literally anything you want it to be
Take DVD players - added to the basket when they were brand new tech - cost £200. Over time that price dropped to £30, then removed from the basket
Always shows negative inflation
the inflation measures it in units so it will have a new price
I love walking through this industrial estate. The amount of English and British flags flown is beautiful
They did it with chocolate too - went from 454g to 400g
Basket didn't change
Which is it feminists, you're empowered enough to take a joke, or oppressed enough to feel harassed?
So i'm calling bullshit on you
its measured per 100g
So when they substitute Cadburies for Lidls?
And housing represents 5%?
On what fucking planet?
29.8% sorry
Still, what fucking planet?
depends what you mean by "housing"
"Housing and household services"
so that will include not just buying, but also rent as well
why do we need to hear "the Toad's" dribble every week
Buying, rent, heating, servicing
Council tax
House insurance
Repairs
yeah so of the 180,000 items they check... housing makes up 53,640
