Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Hi d4, perhaps they have come to their senses ha! ha!.

Have got TRAF on my watchlist (along with many others) looks interesting, maybe a chance to get in near the ground floor (sorry), in a co. on the up.

There is no response necessary to those who are deluded enough to thinking the cons Cameron and osborne have any responsibility for a minimal economic improvement after a three year period of the strangulation of the economy.

By the way what is the National Debt.

When does hyperinflation kick in.

What is true GDP compared with 2010.

False dawn comes to mind.

Off to France.

Thank goodness I change sufficient sterling 3 years ago.

See the sterling under Georgie boy has devalued about 25%.

That is an economic com party miracle.

Only just got in, but notice the market doesn't think much of the recovery.

GDP increasing in all sectors

Enjoy France Fred - forecast looks 'lively' for Saturday morning, arriving here later on Saturday.

Who said don't come back. lol

Just a reminder for the dreamers.

Skinny,

Off over on Saturday.

Refill the tank at Auchun, and then down to Lac D'orient with grand children for 14 days.

Part of France I don't know.

Just been checking the cooling systems, Gennie, fridge and BBQ.

All systems go.

On a mission to survive.

I had some excellent, similar holidays - mainly South Britanny and Loire when my children were young - happy memories.

Beautiful areas.

Sometimes I don't think the French deserve their country.






Should belong to the Welsh.

By the way if you are down in the Basque area put a Welsh dragon on the vehicle.

Even the police will wave you through.

South Brittany is very nice. We used to go mid September every year before we had kids. Start a La Baule then all the way round to spend the last night on Mont St Michel. Lots of seafood and then salt marsh lamb at the end. Not far east of La Baule is the seaside village where Monsieur Hulot's Holiday was filmed - Saint Marc sur Mer.

can't be bothered to read the usual crap, but quickly scanned over fred's typical nonsense .... i'm sure he would have happily jumped on the bandwagon had there been (surprisingly) no increase in gdp, nonsense as those figures may or may not be

The debt figures posted above by Fred look bad superficially. If you look at the percentage increases then you will see that the increases are getting smaller. The peak was 2010 when Labour left.

FY 2013* £1.16 trillion 11.53%
FY 2012* £1.04 trillion 14.28%
FY 2011 £0.91 trillion 19.73%
FY 2010 £0.76 trillion 22.58%
FY 2009 £0.62 trillion 16.98% increase
FY 2008 £0.53 trillion

am i thick or what, but that means the debt is getting BIGGER! .... so what's to be proud about??

Wow from the Mail online today -


A study has highlighted the squeeze on incomes many are suffering that leaves them unable to meet expenses at short notice. Just under 40 per cent of people would be able to take a £200 bill in their stride without dipping into their savings or cutting back on their regular spending, but 20 per cent would be forced to borrow the money, or sell a personal belonging, to pay for it.

The debt was rising under Labour well before the financial crisis that started in 2007.

Look how government borrowing is falling now
