Ah, you may say...it is traditional to do that...increase benefits by the rate of inflation.......but he didn't have to do that. He could, in these times of financial difficulty, have chosen to leave the benefits as they were.
Currently workers in all sectors are having to deal with payfreezes, which in real terms amount to a pay cut.

good for you and George.
