Alan Wilfred Shipman (7 March 1901, Ratby, Leicestershire – 12 December 1979) was a first-class cricketer for Leicestershire between 1920 and 1936. As an all-rounder, he batted right-handed, and was a right-handed fast-bowler between 1920 and 1936. Over 386 first-class matches (661 innings), Shipman scored 13682 runs, at an average of 23.22, with 15 centuries, and a top score of 226.
In 1921, The Cricketer said “Shipman, of Leicestershire, is a cricketer with a future. Only twenty years of age, he bowls fast right hand with an easy run up to the crease and an excellent action. At present, he is rather weedy in build, but if he could put on a stone or two - we recommend a course of physical training during the winter - he might well develop into an England bowler.”[1]
As a bowler, he took 607 wickets, at an average of 25.36 with 16 five wicket hauls. His brother, Bill Shipman, also played first-class cricket for Leicestershire. In 1928, he represented the Players in the Gentlemen v Players fixture.

The Open University Student Price Index for part-time students in September was 6.6% and for full-time students slightly slower at 6.4%. That's reversed from what it was the last time in August. Yes. In July and August the living costs for part-time students was rising slightly less rapidly than for full-time students. The main reason is that the two fastest inflating items over the past month have been two items, food and transport, that part-time students spend slightly more of their income on proportionally than full time. It relates mainly to part-time students travelling more and having families which increases their food cost. So is there any light at the end of the tunnel? Can your economic forecast look ahead several months and say don't worry, it'll get better? Economists seem to be confident that the Consumer Price Index, 5.2% in September, is going to slow in the months to come. Rates for students are still likely to be ahead of that index and it's still because students are spending disproportionately more on items such as transport, housing costs, food costs, which are rising ahead of the general inflation index. We may see housing costs slackening because of what's happening in that market but at the same time a 4th items that students inevitably spend more than the general population on, tuition costs, are still rising ahead of inflation and set to do so. So I think we will still see, although student's inflation rate will follow the general trend downwards, students will still be facing a faster rise in their living costs than the general population. And I think we will see part-time students' costs returning to be inflating slightly less than full time.
