MiddleApparently, I voted middle, but I don't even remember this thread.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

MiddleHm, I can't think this blog entry by Martin http://blog.moneysavingexpert.com/2008/11/28/recessionll-end-soon-the-joy-of-maths/ was a litttle bit premature.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Told you I was right though. 34.78%, yeah....0 -
MiddleHm, I'm rather suspicious, as to the validity of this poll, since apparently 1 extra person has voted middle since I first looked at the results. What really confuses me is someone new also appears to have voted for 1/4, which suggests the presence of at least one mongoose in the forum.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

1/4 the way through
The surprising thing about mongoose is they can kill cobras apparently, awesome
I'll vote 1/4 after I post this because I think the consequences of the recession are long term and going by Martins definition, I believe it will take a while to exceed the GDP figure we registered before the recession therefore we're a quarter through regaining our previous position.
It seems to me that 0.1% will be typical though I'd be happy to be wrong on this, debt and taxes will hold us back while Im unsure of new business growth appearing. The UK needs a mongoose0 -
3/4 the way throughWe will remain in recession until someone comes up with a comprehensive plan to get us out of it, and to pay off the MASSIVE debt.
Enter, Messrs Cameron and Osborne.0 -
I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:0
