    It was never the "biggest financial disaster ever" though was it, it was since the 20's

    I pointed out you were being a complete drama queen as usual. Even if you used the word "financial"
    Surely Graham is not the 'complete' drama queen. That would imply perfection. Simply not possible.

    No, it wasn't.

    Hence saying "just about dodge".

    Dodge implies we got through it.

    Just about implies it was a close call.

    Roll on page 17 when we are discussing whether 3 hours from entire banking collpase is classed as a disaster, or if only 2 hours 58 mins and 17 secs classes as a potential disaster.
  • i had a disaster this morning when the biscuit i was dunking in my coffee just crumbled and sunk to the bottom.
    ruined my morning it did.

    I will be pedantic on this you are saying it was then and we got through it.:confused:

    I disagree with that personally I thought it was banded as since the 20's worst case and 1980's best case.

    But that's just what I read in papers etc. not what I had made up in my head.
    But that is my opinion on it so I will leave it there.

    Probably best. You got stuck in your own maze of twists and turns.
