Nice.

Compared to those iconic photos of London awash with bin-bags it's nothing.

Lol - you mean you can't see those green shoots of recovery?

In all honesty - god knows - I think the coming 3-6 months should empty out the job loss news and allow for companies to get rid of dead wood and streamline - thereafter I think the scene may be set for some adjustment and potential recovery? As soon as the bloody government prints money and buys the bad debt - that will assist in slowly turning things around - the issue is if they buy debt at unpresedented levels and spend this money willy nilly.

In the mean time - there is always the Euro Millions.
