UK April BRC shop price index down 0.02 pct vs March, up 0.47 pct yr-on-yr Friday, May 6, 2005 10:24:45 AM afxpress.com LONDON (AFX) - High street inflation fell slightly in April after rising back to back in March and February, a leading retail lobby group said The British Retail Consortium said its shop price index for April fell 0.02 pct from March but rose 0.47 pct compared with a year ago The monthly fall reflected a 0.56 pct dip in the prices of non-food items. The drop in this category is the first since January. Food prices however, rose 0.91 pct from March. Compared with a year ago, food prices rose 2.72 pct while non-food items slipped 0.88 pct. "April saw a rise in food prices compared to last month, which was not surprising as Easter promotions on food and drink came to an end. The poor harvest in 2004 is also driving bread and cereal prices up," said Kevin Hawkins, Director General of the BRC "Overall retail price inflation is still very low and the current intensity of competition will keep it there, though this appears to be having little affect on consumer confidence," he added Hawkins said there is no justification for a rise in UK interest rates but that a case for a gradual reduction in borrowing costs may be emerging.

I remember when CHROME cassette tapes came out in force, and everyone was like AWESOME - and the cd players came out a week later and made it a joke, PC's come on? Who is gonna buy a double core PC to check email and read SI? I don't need a double core PC, but I will be buying a few more flat panels in the next few months to be adding to my trading station and putting in a few ati radeon 7000's. Check me out by the beach here in Fla: realtimesoft.com and some friends: realtimesoft.com realtimesoft.com realtimesoft.com realtimesoft.com realtimesoft.com realtimesoft.com realtimesoft.com And of course my favorite use of multimonitors - lifesize porn: realtimesoft.com The matrix predicted this - we want lots of monitors in front of us with a fast wireless connections - and trinity blowing us on the side would be the cherry on top - hehe. I don't have 12 monitors yet, but by the end of the year i expect PANL and others will profit off of me.
