    I can't read that site at work, the laughing out loud is frowned upon. It's a problem I rarely experience with this site. Keep up the good work.

    I've just bought the Barcelona suite for one of my bathrooms.

    I read that article, seems like a well thought out and rational policy to me.

    Certainly worthy of any of the 3 main political parties.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see at least some mergers or collapses. I doubt that Darling would do a bail out, it's not like it's a bank.

    He will bail out those that are in Labour constituencies and let the rest die.

    I'm just waiting for the big asset, plant and machinery auctions, good export potential there if you know what you're doing
