I hear Mervyn Kings job may be vacant soon Nickbat.
I think you should apply,you seem to have a finger on the economic pulse a lot more than he does. 
Thanks for that compliment. I can't apply, though, as I don't have a silly pair of glasses 
and I wouldn't be prepared to go on TV every two seconds telling people how bad it's going to get.
That's the trouble with King and Brown, they are fond of the spotlight. At the end of the day, spouting on about recession is utterly pointless, since it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. For most in this country, although their pensions are temporarily devalued (next 2-3 years?), life has gone on as normal over the last few weeks.* However, go on enough about recession and people will stop, shopping, eating out, booking holidays, buying cars, doing DIY projects (the list is endless) and bingo, you have a recession!
* With apologies to anyone who has recently been laid off or made redundant.
This is not about economic science, it's about human sentiment.
Was never a big fan of Mervyn King....I thought Eddie George to be preferable.
Anyway Nickbat....put yourself up for the job as Albitz has suggested.....you never know.
