UK inflation hits 5.2%

[Bunk]

BBC News - UK CPI inflation rate rises to 5.2% in September

Wouldn't it be terrible if they jack interest rates up just before AtW gets his mortgage approved?

Oh dear looks like there's a currency crisis brewing in pound land, as opposed to a debt crisis in a zone with a stable currency.

Even worse if it was just after he exchanged contracts.

(Otherwise he could simply bottle it again and hunker down in his bedsit.)

You don't think a sovereign debt crisis has any connection at all with the currency of those sovereigns?

I think the BOE should print another £75 Billion, just to be sure.

Wow, if that's the figure they'll admit to it must be at least 10% in real life!
