Bank of England would do better forecasting if they brought in Gypsy Petulengro

Today's Daily Telegraph ...


"Official figures showed wholesale food prices rose by 7.4 per cent in the past 12 months - more than three times the headline rate of inflation."

Financial Times 15th January 2008

...and the BBC report ...
