    I think the comments by Michael Saunders are probably more accurate than those of Beanie.

    The Bank has clearly made errors in it's forecasting, and no doubt would have done certain things differently with hindsight.

    What is more worrying is that the Bank also appears to be wrong in some of it's other forecasts on the Economy.

    Once a Central Bank gets behind the curve, it becomes increasingly difficult to catch-up, and by doing so they might do more harm than good.

    Very good impression, it was tedious, boring and pointless, just like the real thing!

    Stick around Joe . .I'm currently working on a few more. My showstopper will be a generic impression based on a typical Bankruptcy forum poster.

    But I'll keep that in reserve for now
