The rate of Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation in the UK matched its record high in September, rising to 5.2% from 4.5% the month before and l don't think this is a surprise to many of us as disposable income increasingly keeps going down month by month with price rises in nearly everything we buy.

An increase in energy costs was behind a large proportion of the rise.
