Infaltion's erosion of my spending power.

Jun 01, 2004 3 Replies

Hello there,



Would somebody please post, or direct me to a site that gives, the annual rates of inflation (the rate relevant to the cost of living).



I need them for the past three years as the long sought after and illusive pay review is coming up (and i would lke to be armed with this info to barter for a little bit more dough).



I've had a look at the government statisitcs website, but it's not that straightforward to work out.



Many thanks.


What you wanted to search for was the Retail Price Index (RPI).
