I am really terrible at Maths, and now I think I am losing the ability to add up...check this out
UK gas prices expected to rise 22%
UK Council Tax expected to rise 4%
Petrol prices set to rise again
UK Train fares set to rise again (4% I think. Phillip can probably tell us about bus fares)
Television License goes up again - I think its about 126 pounds now.
Yet UK inflation 'holds steady' at 1.9%.
How does that work then? I know inflation is worked out by a number of essential items in a 'shopping basket' and compared year on year (and I know gas prices are included) but how can prices rise and inflation hold steady?
Someone must know!

BULLSHIT
