    No worries as the pound continues to drop, this will spur demand.
    I'm alright Jack

      Is that an uptick I see there?
      So its as bad as 2003 - considering this is the wrost recession since the 30s I'd have expected it to be a lot worse
      Hard Brexit now!

        We will wait to see how long it is before the graph starts moving upwards again before we can judge that.

        If the doom-mongers are right that could be some time away.

            Looks like an upturn to me.

              Are you one of Gordon's trolls to talk up the economy until next May?

                You'll have to forgive Dim. He's not very good with graphs and numbers and stuff. He doesn't "believe" in statistical models either.

                  The last pixel of that graph points up. 'Up' means better. Up is boom, up is contract renewal, and up is rate rise. What bit don't you get?!

                    I think it's just that it's been so long that we've forgotten what 'up' looks like
