Office of Notional Statistics Reality Check
Indy Online: Website will allow you to calculate your own personal rate of inflation
The Office for National Statistics (ONS), a Treasury agency, will later this month unveil an online "personal calculator" that will allow people to see if their own inflation is higher or lower than the national average.
Nothing here is new but the interest is within the ONS' comments. Given it is an online database, the ONS could capture and average the personal inflation rate of everyone who uses it. I wonder if they will - and if so, will they publish the results?

ONS is now a national embarassment (or was that notional :-)). It just seems to produce endless amounts of meaningless data manipulated to fit in with Crash Gordon's career plans.

TESCO could do a better job of compiling these sort of statistics than the ONS.
