That's using CPI, which I always think of as a con by our Government to help hide that successive post-war Governments, of all flavours, have indebted us by over-promising what we can't afford and needing to erode our debt, and our savings, away. :-) RPI, specifically DQAD from ONS's MM23, https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/timeseries/dqad/mm23 has these indexes for 1983 and 2019-05, the latest month available. £800 * 286.3 / 86.8 = £2,638.71 LibreOffice here, 6.2.4-1, can't show the whole XLSX file available above: too many columns. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-08-06 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
