This time it will be down to the weather...

So, do we read the likelihood of an increase in M4 or consumer spending for september/october?
It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Could be viewed as welcome short term boost to the UK economy.

    Could also be viewed as reckless overspending too.;)

    A bank run using cash machines?
    I would have thought it would be quicker to get your life savings out over the counter than over days using cash machines. It would take me well over a 3rd of a year to get all of mine out.

    Last really nice weekend of the year and we all knew that.
    Blatent really, I went out on Saturday and it was heaving for October.

    But lest we forget, we're talking about the time around payday/the end of the month, so not massively suprising.
