What is contained in the virtual shopping basket in calculating the inflation rate in the UK?
Q. The official rate of inflation has just increased to 3%, but anybody filling their shopping trolley, paying household bills, running a car or taking public transport will consider this low rate a figment of someone's imagination. In light of this, I can only imagine the virtual shopping basket contains PCs, DVD players, big screen TVs, MP3 players and digital cameras. Can anybody shed any light on this?

A. I don't know the exact list, but it contains many, many different items. The list is revised every few years so that yes, it most probably does contain items like PCs and digital cameras now - and it has had items deleted which are no longer relevant (in the 1950s it used to contain a pound of lard!). It contains mainly groceries and consumer goods. I believe petrol is included, but household bills and so on are not. You should be able to google it to find out - I remember reading it in Metro either last year or the year before, so I don't believe it's some big state secret.

Any suggestions? I need them to be lightweight, as I am bringing a lot of stuff(I don't live there). Please understand that I am MALE!!! (sorry)

A. Hi, Probably the best thing you could do is buy a sports duffle bag in Florida to transport your goodies back in. However, if you just want bags to take around the stores while you're out shopping, have you got over in the USA the P.E.T. recycled shopping bags? They are available here in Australia at our supermarkets and they fold down into 4" x 2.5" size that you can pop into your purse or handbag. My wife bought one the other day and it was great. We forget to take a bag with us out of our car and she remembered she had bought it and got it out of her hand bag. They are strong, flexible and very light. Plus, they are made of recycled materials, so it's helped the environment. My other suggestion is to check out your local… [cont.]
