    nevertheless, with a slight bias toward the positive half... but we need more then a slight bias, a real growth, I do not care even if it is another bubble, but come already ...

    Surely the value of that car directly correlates to the amount of fuel in it.

    I think owning a smallholding with small carbon footprint would be an alternative.

    I love the country, I really do, but you ind the only way to get ahead, is to use every tool at your disposal to minimise what you pay, and that can't be healthy, but after so many years of watching the tax take be wasted on all these hair brained social ventures, I find the only way we'll ever get ahead is to really milk the system, and that's a shame

    Given the start of the year we've had, I'd buy into it. Margin of error of 0.2% also means it could be 0.5% growth; these margins have a tendency to operate both ways.

    See, the economy is fine after all.

    Print £1 Trillion, give it to the banks and get 0.3% growth!
