      I've just had a quick look at the stats: Sminki

      The 'growth' has been down to services. Drilling down further we find that it is comprised of 0.2 from distribution, hotels, and catering; and 0.1 from business services and finance.

      So what these figures show is that the UK has gotten itself out of recession by going down the pub over the xmas period and shoving it on the plastic.

      As the Septics would say, "Way to go UK"
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Nope.

        The "growth" was due to Q3 being revised down & Q4 being flat(ish)!
