R.I.P Wor King Kev.

You'll never be forgotten.

Threw him self at every ball and proved why he was selected. Def not a starter but I'm glad his performance lived upto his ability.

So like a lot of people, the word inflation has lost all real world meaning. I know it happens, I know it not only makes things more expensive to buy but its difficult to really quantify.

I have a few old coins that I inherited from my grandfather. Not a collection, but just the odd coin he found while working in the parks in London. Within the collection is a 4p coin from 1842, a coin minted when we used the 'Gold Standard' and inflation within the UK just didn’t happen.

The coin, minted in silver has the raw value of £3.... That's is just a mental level of inflation, considering between 1842-1931 it had only gone to 0.07p!

What things have you seen that have really struck you as absurd with inflation?
