    I find it works well, but my Epson has packed up again and so cannot do so until I get a new colour cartridge.

    And so is that man in the picture above. Thankfully now consigned to his rightful place of mediocrity, obscurity and back benchdom.

    Britain’s debt levels are dangerously high and are damaging the economy, according to one of the world’s leading financial watchdogs.
    Debt in the UK grew faster than in any other major economy in the last decade to £180,000 per household.
    It means the country is in the danger zone following a ten-year borrowing binge under the last Labour government, a hard-hitting report from the Bank for International Settlements has revealed.

    So we should soon see a ratings downgrade of Sterling, which will of course mean that the £ is devalued further against other currencies. This would make our debt worth less, and hence supposedly easier to pay off.

    Assuming of course that other countries can't keep up their pace of devaluation with ours.

    So, we're winning, right?

    Yes, we might experience crashing house prices, high unemployment and widespread rioting, but that wouldn't be any different to what we've got at the moment.

    If you made the mistake of keeping it in sterling, YES.

    £180K per household. Send everyone a fooking bill with 7 days to pay or 20 years in prison.
