A Question of Inflation: The People Talking: Tuesday's Documentary

on BBC One London

Inflation is a word we read every day. Politicians and commentators talk endlessly about it, but what do ordinary people think? As prices go up and wages go up, the pound seems to be worth less. Desmond Wilcox asks ordinary people in Birmingham what inflation means to them. Young couples say they can't afford homes of their own; pensioners say they can't afford the weekly shopping bill. One car-worker claims he is worse off today than he was 20 years ago.
Is there an answer? Does it lie with the politicians or the people?
