they have apparently changed the products they sample the prices of. Now Im not sure when they last adjusted this list, but I was trying to imagine what was in if it was last adjusted say 10, 20 or 30 years ago!
in 10 years ago, now out :
milk purchased from the milkman!!
shell suits (still included today in Liverpool)
in 20 years ago, now out :
farah trousers
spritzers (that yuppie drink)
in 30 years ago, now out :
abba records
fake fur seat covers
whats just been added (maybe):
Internet service provider costs
what else do you think?

I think it was the BBC news earlier today that made an interesting point...
- 50 years ago people bought lots of fresh vegetables.
- Nowadays they buy _organic_ vegetables!
But 50 years ago they were *all* organic vegetables (and far cheaper!).
Apples and Oranges as a comparison i am afraid!
