Gawd, budget time is as bad as election time for totally pointless and naff graphics courtesy of the BBC..
Try our slide-ometer, and see how much better or worse off you are, if you consider a basket of commodities and your pension and likely charges when you go to a home... look, you are 2p in the pound better off than you would have been with a following wind and an R in the month...

Soo, that's at least 100 pints of ale I need to sup before I get a free one ?

£5 in the front pocket while taking £20 out the back pocket......that could be used as a headline for each budget for years and years to come.

Is beer £1 a pint round your way, if so can you provide directions please?

Round here it will be 300 pints before the 'free one' arrives.

You know a chancellor's desperate when he's reduced to cutting beer and petrol prices.

1p off beer...whoopeefuggindoo.

Anyway it should be proportionate, I like poncy Belgian beer and that sort of thing, it costs say 3 or 4 times as much as a tin of fizzy piss therefore I should get 3 or 4p off.

Say the pub charges 3.25 for a pint. Are they going to make it 3.24? Are they heck as like!
