      I take it you work there?

      I wouldn't worry, the massive increases in your house price, compared with the falls all around you ensure that you'll be able to get plenty of cheap credit to live off.....

                  LONDON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - British bank Barclays Plc (BARC.L) is to cut just over 400 jobs in its UK technology departments, it said on Wednesday.

                  Barclays said a review of its IT operations will see about 158 permanent staff and 250 contractor positions go, mainly in Cheshire and London.

                    Must be a news story about the recession - lets fan the flames.
