The Iod have always been a rather clueless bunch, as reflected in this press release which can be summarized as "whaaa ... ?"

The fact that David Smith is writing it says it all too:

"Analysts expect inflation to edge up from 1.8% to 1.9% but some fear it could rise above the Bank’s 2% target"

Yeah thanks David for your rather stupidly optimistic projection of a 0.1% increase in inflation. You were wrong (again).

Now don't forget Paul, David Smith is the lerned one - not us!

Oh and Paul, why do you have scepticism for Property Snake? Is it kosher or not?

I'm not especially sceptical about property snake - it's a good general guide, but it is only as reliable as the website data that it polls.
