    Sorry, but I'm also getting quite frightened by what's going on. Will the IMF have to bail out the UK again in 2009? I think it is a real possibility now. UK PLC is bankrupt.

      Frightened?

      You scare very easily. It's only a recession, and there are a lot of people - especially on this board - who absolutely revel in any bad news.

      As I have said on other threads, the downward forces on the dollar and the euro are just as strong as those on the pound, if not stronger. Wait for the run on those two currencies to kick off - you'll feel much brighter.

        There are also some people here going on about buying houses soon.

        Some have not realized this is going to be a severe depression.

            US and Eurozone also going bankrupt and being bailed out by the IMF?

              The dollar will clearly survive - the yanks' capacity to generate revenue is better than ours (on the grounds that there is 6 times the number of them)

              The euro is different though. I can see that either collapsing, or changing it's format.

              Interesting times....

                You mean I can't do an atw : make several predictions and only remember the ones that came true?

                Maybe in my other post I should have said severe recession......

                  I would go for the severe recession prediction.

                  Were printing money now. Hence, the UK is not worth the paper its printed on.

                    The Bank of England's Governor paved the way last night to unleash the weapon of “printing money” in a last-ditch drive to combat the rapidly deepening recession.
