I don't agree with the inflation not being a percentage. If gas and electricity go up by 5% that might mean £20 a year to you in your flat(I think you live in a flat) but to me it could mean £100+ in my family home. If food goes up 5% then it will make a bigger difference to me with 5 mouths to feed (have you seen my mouth before someone tries to be funny). Same for car insurance fuel etc, I have a family so need a bigger car. Etc etc etc
