QUOTE (Andy Capp @ May 27 2012, 09:52 PM)  Soooo, it should be easy to give examples? No? But why do I need to give examples when you are the only one on here who disagrees. Even the previous poster said it has gone up quite a bit. Isn't the whole point of your tediousness to proof me wrong? Now that has backed fired. |

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ May 27 2012, 09:55 PM) You are right; it was a typing error which I have corrected. But was it a typing error or just you shooting yourself in the foot as usual? |

QUOTE (GMR @ May 27 2012, 09:54 PM) your summery is correct. Andy Capp is just being childish and tedious. As he said in a previous post this is his life. So far Andy Capp everybody agrees it has gone up "quite a bit"; quoting Timbo. So give up before you look even more foolish. You are doing the name calling, but just give me some examples; that's all. |

You said you would meet me to show me receipts, so why can you not just give some examples now? |

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ May 27 2012, 09:49 PM) You said it was by 'quite a bit over the last month' (compared to others), despite the price index falling. Not joining the slanging match, but just to point out that the index contains a lot more than just groceries. So a fall in the index is not incompatible with food prices going up. A quote: QUOTE A convenient way of thinking about the CPI is to imagine a
very large ‘shopping basket’ full of goods and services on which people typically spend their money: from bread to ready-made meals, from the cost of a cinema seat to the price of a pint at the local pub, from a holiday in Spain to the cost of a bicycle. |

Because I would have to pull out all my receipts to check, where it would be simpler to just show them to you. In other words you can check through them yourself. You've stated you've got no life other than here; I do have a life. |

You've stated you've got no life other than here; I do have a life. Well just grab a few at random. Just a few examples is all. I'm not denying your stance, I would just like to see what you are on about, but I don't want to know enough to bother driving somewhere. |

I've got hundred of receipts. I would have to find the right one going back months. I am quite happy to show you them; but as you requested you can help me sort it out. Fairs fair. |

QUOTE (GMR @ May 27 2012, 10:06 PM) Certainly; read back to your posts. So you have no evidence to show there either. You said people shouldn't slag people off if they cannot back it up. Well go on them. let see the evidence? |
