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!
