Apparently we have a basket of typical things people buy which is measured to determine inflation. Apparently 35mm film was one of the items in that basket, but is no more. Instead, we get muffins! Mmmm.

Measured inflation seems to be nothing like the inflation I experience anyway!

I thought they said 35mm film cameras were out on the wireless, Radio 4 wrong <shock>,
on the other hand digital storage devices are being included for the first time, so we still have something to argue about :):)

Muffins, hmm. What ever happened to crumpets? Must be the Starbucks influence.
