Just as the 80's bears were proved wrong in thier claims we would be relegated to third world status thanks to Japan, Taiwan, HK and S Korea taking our economy away, so the bears will be shown to have called it wrong again weith thier 'we don't make anything anymore', 'we can't go on selling one another houses'.
