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.

I'm sure he does, Fishfinger, but you're a long way from deflation in the UK. Unless you're in Spain, of course.

Hargreaves Lansdown: Latest inflation data means that Bank of England 'won't even consider' an interest rate rise
Ben Bretell, senior economist at Hargreaves Lansdown, believes that this morning's fall in the rate of UK inflation means that UK interest rates will not rise until well into next year.
He remarked, ‘Weak global demand is dragging down the rate of inflation. The prospect of recession in the Eurozone – our largest export market – poses a severe threat to the UK’s recovery. Exports have fallen to their lowest level in four years, providing further indication our economy is slowing. Given the weakening growth outlook and the absence of inflationary pressure, it is difficult to see why the Bank of England would even consider higher interest rates at present. I
fully expect them to remain on hold until after next year’s election.'

A bit of light relief needed here I think;
A pet parrot that spoke with a British accent when it disappeared from its home four years ago has been reunited with its owner - and the bird now speaks Spanish.
The reunion was brought about by a Southern California veterinarian who mistook Nigel, an African gray parrot, for her own missing bird.
Teresa Micco tracked Nigel's microchip to Darren Chick, a Briton who lives in Torrance.
"I introduced myself and said, 'Have you lost a bird?'" Micco told the newspaper. "He initially said, 'No.' But he thought I meant recently."
When she verified Chick's name and said she had his African grey parrot, "He looked at me like I was crazy."
He said his bird went missing four years earlier.
Little is known about Nigel's whereabouts the past four years, but Chick says the bird's British accent is gone, and it now chatters in Spanish.
Chick says last week's reunion brought tears of joy to his eyes - despite the fact that Nigel bit him when he first tried to pick him up.
Micco said the behavior was not unusual and that Nigel would settle back in soon enough.
"He's doing perfect," Chick told the newspaper by the week's end. "It's really weird. I knew it was him from the minute I saw him."
It's the fifth parrot reunion facilitated by Micco, who has been running ads for her own missing bird for nine months. That parrot, Benjamin, flew the coop in February when it darted out a door that was left open.
Julissa Sperling found Nigel outside her home and brought him to Micco after seeing one of her ads.
But first, she took Nigel to her dog-grooming business.
"He was the happiest bird. He was singing and talking without control," Sperling said. "He was barking like the dogs. I'm from Panama and he was saying, 'What happened?' in Spanish."
