Osbourne's action will have nowt to do with it - good, bad or otherwise. Just as in the last 'dip' it will be where the world's economy takes us. Brown's budgetting left us with the big deficit, but you can't exactly pin a world-wide recession on him.


The only way is to do what Australia did - get as close to China as possible, economically. And that was accidental, rather than planned.

Good news for those companies that get you to sell them your gold for a pittance though.

Ireland's already in it. Another property crash .. and yes I think we might.


But ... I remember the 80's and 90's and how bust to boom can be so quick (you think things will never improve, and suddenly bankers are burning money, in pubs, for a laugh).


Lets see what (public services) ollie hammers, as well as the parents, who he enjoyed having a go at so much, he's coming back for more.

Australia's situaton is different. The country is geographically close to China, and is a large exporter of the commodities that China needs. Britain cant all of a sudden shift east or exporting large quantities of Iron Ore.


Its like Sydney can never be London. London is an English speaking country in the right time zone to trade the financial markets in Europe, the US and far East. London will be back: you cant kill the City.


The press are doing a good job of talking us into a double dip.

    • Another recommendation for Oddbods. As proof of our satisfaction we've asked them to return for some more jobs, which is sign we were happy with their work
    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays. 
    • And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works.
