    We'll be a third world economy by 2009.

    I'm moving to Zimbabwe. I'll be a man of substance there

      Where are all those articles telling us how crap France, Germany and Japan are, now? Where's Dodgy with his analysis of how great GB is, now?
      Hard Brexit now!

        We don't make fook all and all the services are in India. All we've had is banks printing money and people spending the £100K their house had grown in equity over the last few years.

        Britain is fooked beyond belief.

        Boomed!

          no more sneering at my German friends...

          damn, I use to love giving smug lectures about Britain's dynamic economy. Sounds like a return to 1992, when the the Germans gave me smug lectures.

            Germany is the biggest exporter of goods in the world (by value).

            Bigger than the USA and China.

              I think a few on here have been saying similar for some time.
              I think I first proposed it on tulipe99 in 01.
              I am not qualified to give the above advice!

              The original point and click interface by
              Smith and Wesson.

              Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

                Actually, that's not quite right. It's really out of character for me to talk up UK, personally don't like the place, but Uk does have earners:
                1. The City (Nu/Old Lab don't like this)
                2. Weapons (Big time death dealers)
                3. Drugs (Glaxo,etc.)
                4. Services (Us lot)
                Bored.

                  They're probably laughing their heads off at how stupid we are. We confuse a "dynamic" economy with one where people consume a lot of stuff they don't need using money they don't have.

                    The City are on the verge of bankruptcy.
                    Weapons is true, but how many bombs can you sell to terrorists?
                    Drugs are under pressure from cheaper locations
                    Services are heading East at some rate of knots and depend on a booming economy for growth.
