    'Fastest growing economy' spiel doesn't wash with the many who are being forced onto JB and other unemployment figure massaging schemes.

    No suit mentions turning a corner, traffic jams back to normal levels and Marks and Spencer announce a surge in food sales.

    Don't kid yourself they are here to stay, why would anyone pay for a short term employee, or a long term more expensive one, when the taxpayer will do it for you for free

    I thought it was over. I've been living like it was over for a year now. Nobody told me it was still on. What do I do now?

    I was in the timber section of woodies yesterday, the bloke there asked me if I was looking decking.


    I got him with the first dig, don't worry ;)

    Barred for life from woodies now though.

    Just sit tight and whatever you do don't pay any debt you may have accumulated by living outside your means.

    The guys that wrote that article look like morons too.
    The bullish prediction is driven by what the broker describes as a “clear recovery in the domestic economy”,

    They can't even spell 'bullshît' properly. :rolleyes:

    You take two people and ask them to do a 200 meter sprint every day for a year.

    A lean muscled experienced sprinter.

    A 20 stone fat dude.

    At the end of the year, who would have improved more as a percentage?

    A gang of builders waiting on breakfast rolls in our local Spar yesterday - with high viz jackets displaying the name of a construction company.

    My Daughter had a patio laid 2 weeks ago and a neighbour got one this week.

    Ergo the recession is over after all?

    Might be a sign, if the decklanders are back, all she needs now is a patio heater to waste heat outside.

    Perhaps the opposite is needed and those that can spend and live better should be more obvious. Confidence in the economy coupled with injecting cash can go a long way in getting things back in swing.

    Have we really become that thick as a nation by swallowing all the "THE POOR LITTLE PEEPLE HAS NO MONIES" ****e that the media and populist politicians spouted that you think that the country showing clear signs of recovery is something that shouldn't be considered positive?

    Tired of you miserable bastards ignoring facts.

    You've lost me there. It was paid back in full about 3 years earlier than the term. That was around 1988/89.
