    PwC again?
    You mean that PwC that relies for a lot of its business on the incumbent government?
    Did you know the word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary?

    Ah there's a hedge:
    "However, some investment professionals we spoke to saw that ‘importance’ could also be interpreted in a negative sense, that problems and greater volatility in the UK, for example, could have an important effect on slowing down companies’ growth.”"
    Hard Brexit now!

      As before Feckwitt is and it says just like AssGuru on CUK.

        "We were getting forecasts of continued growth not long before the Crash of 2008. Therefore predictions like this come with the usual health warnings.

        Britain's booms are heavily dependent on consumer spending. If that falters, so does growth and the economy. Since we just love to use the plastic, there is a limit. The business cycle suggests a downturn may be due in the next year or so."

              Yes. Does this mean you're coming round to the idea?

                  PwC are wonderful. Any company that can hand over the wrong envelope at the Oscars is quality in my book. I bet PwC were paid millions then outsourced it to Bob Shawadiwadi for a few dollars.
