Slowdown nowhere near great depression levels

[Mich the Tester]

These puns are getting a bit grating.

What was so great about it? Maybe for some people it was great, but it was rubbish for many people.

All I know about it, is what I saw in the Dr Who episode Darleks in Manhattan.

So there were these poor people in tents, then there were these pig people, and this crazy darlek that wanted to be human.

I think that's about all you need to know about the great depression.

I thought great meant poor. As in 'he was a great help'.

That's an instance of sarcasm.

my great granny used to make me clean the fire-grate. that wasn't so great , I can tell you

Here great means one generation above that specified. They can be chained, i.e. great great grandmother.

At risk of upsetting the one or two sad people who love to wallow in doom here, it's easy to forget that we are actually 9 months into a recession now - it hasn't just started.

Still no sign of it bottoming out as far as I can see, but worth bearing in mind that if it is a long one of 18 months to 2 years as seems likely now, we're almost half way through.

My apologies for trying instil an element of cheer.

I'll believe you only if you can tell me what the opposite is
