SNIPPETS 2........The cost of a standard car SVA test is set to rise from £158 to £205 if new proposals are passed. MSVA will rise from £74 to £78.
Oh, and our ‘guru’ of such matters tells me that local VROs have been told not to accept VIN numbers with the letters ‘Q’, ‘I’ and ‘Z’ in them, so
beware of that when registering your kit.
How is it that the inflation figure stays at 3% when the cost of everything is going up by 33% ??

Because the official measure of inflation doesn't include those things. It's carefully chosen to measure only those things they can't get away with leaving out.
In fact the only purpose of the damn number I can see is when it's trotted out at pay review time to keep you from punching your managers lights out by not making it look quite so terrible.
