    You're all doomed

    This could have been three threads but I was nice and kept it to a single thread. This could be Black Friday of doom.

    UK construction output falls

    Trade deficit widens

    UK manufacturing output in reverse

    UK house prices fall

    Pound falls 1 cent against the euro
    source: Business Live: UK output falls - BBC News

      I thought this thread would be about your return to the UK.

      Lets hope house price falls are the start of the big correction.

      I believe in LOndon in the last year, of the houses on the market, 45% were sold and 55% withdrawn from sale?

        Silence, worm!


        Widening trade deficit strengthens the UK's hand in negotiations with EUSSR27!

        Construction output declining makes UK construction more competitive due to excess capacity!

        Manufacturing output in reverse makes UK manufacturing more competitive due to excess capacity!

        House prices are too expensive, so this is a welcome downward adjustment of the cost of living, making the UK even more competitive as a place to do business!

        Falling sterling makes the UK even more competitive!

          From the same link in the Torygraph - Pound falls after UK industry and trade data disappoint - not good if the Torygraph is giving out bad news!!

              It's not. It's great. Look at all the trillionaires in Zimbabwe!

                Ask UK pensioners in Spain. Or ask supermarkets whom import the majority of their stock.

                    Because it will hit Scotsmen on the back of their heads.
