MANCHESTER, Dec 12 (Reuters) - The British public's expectations for inflation inched lower in November, according to a Bank of England survey published on Friday.
The public's median expectation for the rate of inflation in the year ahead fell to 3.5% from 3.6% in August, according to the quarterly inflation attitudes survey.
For inflation in five years' time, expectations fell to 3.7% from 3.8% - still far above the BoE's target for consumer price inflation of 2.0%.
While the public are poor predictors of price growth, the survey is watched by BoE policymakers for warning signs that inflation expectations are becoming embedded in consumer behaviour.
