2015 before we begin to see any sign of a steady recovery.
surprisingly enough, property prices will be the first indicator as they start to rise and the construction industry starts to show a steady growth as a there is a drive to build domestic properties.
The high street retail sector will continue its slow spiral down as internet shopping increases.
Commercial Road transport (Heavy Goods) will show a steady decline as the heavy industries move to developing countries, but delivery companies and the number of smaller more economical delivery vehicles will on our roads will increase dramatically.

Gas prices will attain a record high in 2015 as Russia raises its prices to help combat their own economic crisis.
The USA in 2014, it's dollar strong against the european currencies sees another round of recession as unemployment rises due to a drop in exports and the resultant streamlining of their own industries and loss of high street retailers. this will continue until 2017 at the earliest.

I told him that it isn't funny and he should be more serious.
I can't claim it as my own though, it was made by another one of our congregation, not me. Whoever it was had a bit of support on here as I recall, including scoopershot of course. I can't remember who it was now...

Greeks vote in new anti Austerity Government. Greeks refuse to listen to Germany and a Mexican standoff ensues. Spanish and Portuguese, gettign a sniff Germany will cave in, also start getting uppetty. Germany meets with France, Netherlands, and a few others and agree to start issuing eurobonds, which effectively centralise all Euro debt, Germans get uppetty, Euro however saved.
I think look at the Banks being too big to fail, then magnify this by a million, and you have the euro; it's now an ideology of European governments. The Euro will be around for a long time, but it's going to be a pain for a few years, especially for the Germans who'll have to start operating on a more level basis.

The citizens who moved their money out of Euros do very nicely. And by 2015 we can get back to "normality".
This, of course, is quite an optimistic scenario. Do you want the doomsday alernative?
