    Recession killed conversation

    With all this talk of recession, I'm seriously concerned that conversation up and down the country will come to a halt. Will the staple of British conversations be a thing of the past?

    i.e.

    House prices
    Mortgages
    Immigration
    Shopping

    Discuss before it's too late!

    No. Next.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

    C.S. Lewis

          I was stunned by the price of a loaf of bread today. Caught me right on the temple.

                  People can talk about "the green shoots of recovery". I miss them. Last seen circa 1993.
