What actually happens if the markets flop?

I guess there will not be another series of Lazytown.....

I wondered where all those stupid yank like accents came from ! I'll be slapping a CBeebies morning ban on effective from tomorrow. I always preferred Milkshake anyway.

Confidence. Well do you feel it? I don't for a number of reasons.

1) I don't trust the government.

2) I don't trust bankers.

3) Am I alone? I don't think so. If I were the economy would be tickity boo.

The best thing right now would be to bring the US election forward next week say. I think while we're waiting over the next two months or so markets will continue to be all over the place.

And a message for the governor of the bank of England - guarantee all deposits in full now!!! Numty.

Test them test the little ones it's the way forward you know. Schools are about performance not education you know.

Who elected this interfering government anyway?

2 years and back to normal. Panic ye not - the Benefits System's as generous as ever - as long as you have kids and no self worth.

You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.

The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.

I always preferred "In the Bottle" but a quality reference none the less.

Apart from traders throwing themselves out of City windows, what are the immediate changes? Indirectly we talk about unemployment and problems with interest/inflation... but if the market crashes things still go on don't they? Tesco is still going to be open, the pub will still have beer, Heroes will still be on TV... in all seriousness what actually happens to the people of Iceland if their country goes bust?

Have you seen the film Mad Max?

My motor already has a Blower fitted, so I'm ready
