    Yawn.

    Not what I said. I said your thread was dubious. See you are straight back to diversion and confusion to make a (none) point.

    Well discus the article GD.

    Or is it one you can't, as it the wrong kind of data again?

    Same survey, same type of reasons, yet this one is spin, even though that this one is compiled by KPMG!

    I just thought it was a good example of people only believing what they wanted to believe.

    Oh you are bitter.

    If I discuss it, will you stop jumping to conclusions before I have even had chance to respond?

    Will you stop deliberately confusing and diverting?

    And most importantly, will I get another bitterness spoof thread?

    Weird.

    Sales are rising.

    Only yesterday Graham told us sales were falling because people are broke, and that any weather related story is just to cover up the fact people are broke.

    Ah well, "wrong type of broke" it is then. :)

    All I did on your thread was discuss the article, shame the same can't be done on this one.

    The title was a joke based on the fact the weather one was blamed on the wrong weather, this one mentions decreasing disposable income, but you knew that.

    I am not bitter, just amused that the same kind of data can't be debted if positive.

    Is it really that terrible if things just stay flat for a year or two?

    Well depends,IMHO no. If I was someone who was about to lose my job, yes.

    For anyone on here trying to make out things are better or worse than they are on here it would be a nightmare.
    You would have to start picking on the reasons given why things fall or rise to fit your own agenda. :)
