Its still a fall in real terms if its below inflation, isn't it? Remember the 11% inflation we have seen in the last year is effectively baked in. Your headline should probably read 'UK wages grow at record annual rate..but cannot keep pace with even higher inflation'. It is slightly disingenuous otherwise.
