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.

    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
