What are peoples thoughts on the inflation figures from ONS, do you think they are accurate? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ConfusedMeAgain@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Good question. There are probably quite good at measuring well. However, Considering that they say the fall is mostly due to the energy cap, the better question might be...Are they measuring the right prices? There's no right answer, I suppose. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] whelks_chance@feddit.uk 1 point 2 years ago The ONS has multiple values depending on which selection of prices you're interested in.
