    Course you do sweetheart.

    But then again, you didn't have any savings, plus you didnt own a house so like always it only affected you when the price of potatoes doubled.

    Looks like anyone who bought a house 5 or 10 years ago has had it paid for by the state. Well, renters, savers and the next generation.

    So I've read the article. 2012 will see a recovery and if the bank does not take action we'll all be millionaires. So the answer is put up interest rates.

    This is a happy article. happy. Why? It's nothing to do with high interest rates but it's all to do with our marvellous accomplishment that in the next 24 months we've managed to pay off £900,000,000,000 of debt.

    I for one are looking forward to this bombshell of a recovery.

    the estimate in the DM is much more conservative than other estimates I've heard
