Britain on the brink of an economic depression, say experts

There's generally a fall after a rise and a rise after a fall. I don't think this has really come as such a surprise to many people.

There will be a larger gap but it will happen with a future generation as it has now.

You have not got the hang of it.;)

But in all seriousness I dont think it will, It could be shorter if they screw up QE.

How do you know that one rise wasn't just made up of two smaller rises? Or three very small rises? So actually, it could go: rise, rise, rise, fall, fall, rise, fall, rise, fall, fall, fall, rise.

But you might just see that as: rise, fall, rise, fall, rise, fall, rise.

Right, after that intellectual bombshell I'm off to bed.

So either dont pretend your an expert

or say

Im as thick as your average child that cant work out when a ballon is full enough.

either way, dont listen to me, Im a money grabbing chancer and guesser, and as thick as gnu shlt.

OK I buy the anger, just thankful I haven't spent years studying the intricacies of economics, but I wonder how much worse off we could be without the experts involved in business and gov't - we will never know of course.

We still use analists and they are the main people we turn to in business for converting data.

I think this crosses over to expert when they create a theory and back it up with the analitical data.

I am an expert in my filed a shelf stacker is in their's, a painter is in their's etc.

Expert just means does it for a living.

Definition of an expert - 'ex' = past it; 'spurt' = drip under pressure :rotfl:

It didn't take a genius to figure any of this out, what goes up has to come down eventually.

Just a shame I don't get paid to state the bleedin' obvious

experts?

My fat @rse!

Not one of these so called experts called it before this year.

An expert is somone who calls it before the event, not someone who guesses after it has happened.

expert = !!!!!! of olympic proportian

heres a famous expert http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4685511.stm
treat all medias experts the same please and you will go easy

Have you ever watched a program with the expert doctor on who is explaining how the sceince works behind a new drug? They haven't got a clue, they rely on the scientists who carry out the trials etc for their conclusions.
Yes they'll put them in a lab with a white coat, in front of a microscope but it doesn't mean the can switch the bl**dy thing on.
We need to remember that we are here, going through this recession right now so we are the experts!!!! NOT:rolleyes:

Now we are officially in recession that word doesn't make headlines like depression. They may be right in the end but I think their choice of words was purely to sell the article.
