You know that inflation is under control when the cost of sending twelve days of gifts to your true love is only 1% higher than a year ago i.e. $44,002 including shipping. It seems that partridges became plentiful but there was a shortage of turtle doves. There was no change in the prices of swans, calling birds, geese or French hens. But pipers and drummers got an increase - they must have been in the union. Lords are still leaping if they are not sleeping in the back benches of Parliament. Twelve days later you will get the bill and it will certainly be an Epiphany!
