      Gideon must have thought himself such a smart-arse when he changed things to be indexed against CPI rather than RPI.

      He clearly forgot about index linked gilts.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          Ah finally, that would be very good reason to start increasing BoE rates then - they don't make squat difference lending wise (apart from making banks far more profit than ever). Bring on 10%+ rates

                  Even by your pretty poor standard, that's pretty poor. Why don't you come join in the car thread instead of derailing this one, I can't be bothered having the same argument split across different threads...
