if there was a % increase each year that was set in stone then at least we would have some sort of understanding of how much we were going to get shafted
but the randomness of it all is what really gets on my tits

if it's linked to inflation then is it not in itself a cause of inflation?
if it's linked to productivity then that will suffer when it gets to high, but it won't come down when it's shit will it
and no one gets inflation busting pay rises anymore so we can't even afford to buy this stuff now, look at the story yesterday about the price of a laof of bread, it's gone over a pound now because all of a sudden china and india want to eat more, what were they eating before they started to eat bread?

if things are laid out and made clear to everyone in simple terms then at least we can all understand, but they befuddle matters by blaming something or the other for the rises rather than telling us they've fucked up and need more money

it's just the same as when the vikings and then middle aged lot were running the show "king needs a new castle, you need to pay more tax"
