    You're a cheery soul. Does everyone groan and sigh when you start talking down at 't pub?

    Probably a rush to the bar / to have a fag / toilet, as soon as he starts talking.

    Much as I am not overly optimistic about the UK economy over the next few years, I have to say this post take the biscuit in seeing 'the glass half empty'.

    Unbelieveable, even by this forums oft myopic posts (on both sides).

    Would 50k extra people unemployed be a better start to 'build on' ?

    good news that the unemployment trend is now falling and wages seem to be increasing.

    I am sure whatever side of the housing debate people are, bull or bear, we can all celebrate this as exceptionally good news and hopefully a sign the tide has turned.

    Wrong, nothing to do with my personal cheeriness, just a the dry reality of someone who is at the front line (We help placing older people back into work). Bliss is something kept for 2015 :rolleyes:

    Oh - you're worried about your own job prospects? It is career enhancing to have long dole queues?
