Without doubt great news. Hopefully more good news when quarter 4 is published. The good news just keeps on coming while we remain in the EU.

people making investment decisions are including their assessment of the future path of the economy over the lifetime of the investment.

Stuff like this just diminishes anything serious you might have to say. If you want to be taken seriously, begin by admitting when you get things wrong. Then it might carry some weight when you say other things.

You're joking, right?
Because there is no way that many of these "remoaners" will accept hard fact like those.
Nope, something of a more "doom and gloom" nature will provide a rebuttal soon, as certainly as night follows day.


Oh look ..............

We voted remain, and were very disappointed in the result of the referendum, but why would you think that we would want doom and gloom? My wife retired on Friday, and I dropped down to working only one day a week, and we are reasonably well off, but not really in much of a position to increase our wealth (but feel we have enough anyway), so why on earth would we welcome doom and gloom which would diminish our wealth?

EDIT: Furthermore we have always been rather optimistic, rather than pessimistic (glass half full as you put it).

So I am wrong am i? The GDP went up from last quarter did it?

My glass is always full, Brexit will not affect my standard of living in a material way, neither would remaining.But it seems to matter to you for some reason. A declining economy will not help anyone however so why would I wanat it?

Hello Fella. Ok I admit I got things wrong. I thought that Arsenal had a chance of winning the Premiership this season and I certainly did not expect Leicester to have such a bad run of results.
There are probably many other things I have got wrong but I wish to keep them private.
Oh, back to Brexit.
Yes I believed the polls and I was very surprised and upset when Britain voted Brexit. However 6 months on I fully except the result and know that Britain will leave the EU sometime early in 2019.
I am delighted that Britain continues to do well while preparing to leave and I hope the good news story's will continue.
I still don't agree it is in Britains best interests to leave, just look at all the good news, but Democracy has spoken.
