A very good video, sums it up nicely. It looks like we've only got the failure of the Dollar and the Euro and CREDIT CRUNCH II on it's way.

It's nice to see the Government's got control of the situation.


:shock:


The worst is yet to come. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Depends where you work though.

The recent downturn, IMO, was no where near on the scale of the early 1990's one, although nowadays the 24 hour hysterical news outlets will twist it until it seems like it is.

The 'massive freefall' of the stockmarket yesterday ended roughly at the level it was at a few months ago, but they won't say that. :roll:

Nor will they have it as headlines when the stock markets grows by 20% again . . .

Nor will the Oil companies say much about Oil falling a massive $15 a barrell last week, back to the price ($86) where we were paying £1.22 a litre.

:sad:

I think it's the bigger picture that tells the story. While I agree there are some anomalous figures, the story in Greece, Italy, Spain and America are not isolated blips on a graph. The media are a shower of [edited by admin] and don't do us any favours, but I fail to see where they have it wrong. :-| It's downhill from here on in. :-|

Let's hope this leads to fewer folks going abroad for their hols.

Could the staycation be our saviours?

Unless of course you work in some of the s*******s up north.
