10.7% v 10.1% is 0.6%. how long before that compounds into a sizable figure?

I never really bought into the doomsday scenarios. Just a slow slide of Spanish package holidays getting more expensive and people not connecting the dots.

Pretty long. Itd take 120 years for relative prices to double, compared to 7 years doubling at 10% inflation.

Also, 0.6% is probably noise or error
