My sons happy. His mortgage speed just went down to 4.6%. I'm ****ed. My ISA speed is down to 4.35%.Same thing. Rate=speed.

its basic maths.That's an invented comparison, It doesn't exist in the real world.
It would be like saying 10 mph at the start and 60 at the end, so that makes acceleration (rate of change) as 16.66%, which is nonsense.
I was referring to the rate of change, or speed of change, not simple percentages.My sons happy. His mortgage speed just went down to 4.6%. I'm ****ed. My ISA speed is down to 4.35%.
It's pure invention.its basic maths.

You're talking utter nonsense and you've been found out... again.It's pure invention.
Find the equation for comparing the rate of inflation with one time period compared to the rate of inflation with another subsequent (or earlier) time period.
The nearest you'll get is compound interest.
Diversion tactics again.You're talking utter nonsense and you've been found out... again.
time for a new user name perhaps?

Seems you have made a valid point, Gas clearly referred to the change of inflation rate in his post... Oh wait he didn't:Diversion tactics again.
It's always your resort when you've been exposed as a mathematical dunderhead.
Did you have any luck finding the formula for rate of Change of Inflation rates?![]()
poor old rachel 34% increase in the inflation rate in a month
I said "Rate of Change", not simply change of inflation.Seems you have made a valid point, Gas clearly referred to the change of inflation rate in his post... Oh wait he didn't:

ahh so you introduced something new, pretended its what Gas meant, so you could argue he was wrong on his calculation.I said "Rate of Change", not simply change of inflation.
Are you being deliberately obtuse?
There is no valid measure for Rate of Change of Inflation.
Inflation is a simple measure.
I guess compound concepts are difficult for you and gas to understand. So you should stick to simple principles.
he must be notches twin the way they both see words that are not writtenahh so you introduced something new, pretended its what Gas meant, so you could argue he was wrong on his calculation.
We got there in the end.

Bank of Dad seems the obvious solution.My sons happy. His mortgage speed just went down to 4.6%. I'm ****ed. My ISA speed is down to 4.35%.

Tommy Troll is led by his neurodivergent traits, I don't quite see him as being a paid up member of the group I affectionately refer to as "the forum idiots".he must be notches twin the way they both see words that are not written
There is no such measure of comparing the inflation rate of one time period wit the inflation rate of another subsequent time period,ahh so you introduced something new, pretended its what Gas meant, so you could argue he was wrong on his calculation.
We got there in the end.

I don't think division is a mysterious arithmetic.Gas invented some mysterious arithmetic which doesn't exist to make a point. He only succeeded in making a fool of himself and you.
Find an accepted formula for the Rate of Change of the Inflation rate, and I'll use that.I don't think division is a mysterious arithmetic.
