    Our correspondent said the society had "pushed the boat out a bit too much" on commercial property and buy-to-let lending.

    A few Brits going over to invest their property earnings a la "A house in the Sun/oops Rain" will soon stimulate that market. Britiish speculators got the Irish and Spanish property markets going before; they can do it again!

    I did say back in Janruary that the recession in fact ended in December - I did say that the pound would not go to parity with the Euro but by April hit 1.15 then rise .

    I havent forget thoose on this board who kicked Blighty in its hour of darkness.
