Inflation basket
Discussion
Although I don't trust the official figure, it seems reasonable to change the goods that its based on:
"Rotisserie chicken, rose wine and portable video players have been added to a typical basket of goods used to calculate inflation.
Wine boxes, MP3 players and rentals from DVD hire shops have been removed to make way, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
The ONS updates its 650-strong basket of goods and services annually, to better reflect public spending habits."

Aren't those Rotisserie chickens a bit Chav and are people still drink rose wine?
