any significant economic downturn, and I bet you never get those results
when the economy is booming.

UK economy is looking pretty good at the moment in my opinion.  Government
is tackling the core problems, retail has just had its best ever year and
the FTSE looks good.  Of course the last Conservative government did the
same thing then, having sorted out the mess, handed it all back to Labour to
foul up again!

But now we are getting into politics, so after a quick slap on the wrist I
shall leave it there before religion rears its ugly head!
