      Methodology changed by HBOS for the December 2002 figures. All
      figures prior to this month use the old methodology, and so are
      not comparable with figures from December 2002 onwards.
      Price/Earnings ratio uses standardised average prices of all houses
      to national average earnings for full-time male employees.
