    oh well we are just guessing anyway!

    For myself I think we will look on the last 50 years as the halcyon days, China and India will start to dominate, we will stagnate, I would advise my kids that emigration might not be a bad option, Canada or Australia vast countries with huge and as yet untapped resources and low populations look good :-)

    Sorry to sound so pessimistic, Im actually a pretty positive chap most of the time
