    So, we're doomed. Who will we be fighting? Iceland? I hear they got a bit stroppy with us last month!

    Seem to remember the last time we fought Iceland we didn't exactly win.

    On Moneybox today they said the last time rates were cut from 4.5% to 3% was 1665. Yes.. 1665.

    The year of the Plague, and the year before the Great Fire of London. Great.

    I say "we", but it's not me. I'm past the age of being called up. I'd have to be in the WI baking cakes and making teas.

    The BoE are panicking big style because they know they've seriously fooked the economy up. We can expect many monthly rises of 1.5% in years to come.

    And there was me thinking it was the banks/regulators/Bill Clinton/Masonic-Jewish Conspirators/Republicans/Gorrrrrrdon Broon/reckless borrowers/reckless lenders/BTL-ists/bulls/bears/Gooners.

    It turns out that if we'd simply had the entire MPC horse whipped up and down Cheapside in 2004 then we'd be living la dolce vita.

    Hoooda thawtit?

    Didn't the Frogs start making Stella Artois in 1666, or is that just a marketing ploy? Mind you, I doubt that French beer was too popular in the UK at that time.
