    You do realise that the UK's GDP growth this year is in fact so far only very very slightly below our growth last year, right?

    What does that actually mean though? As the old saying goes. Turover is vanity , profit is sanity , but cash is always king. Apply the same logic to the economy and the same old problems persist.
  • It does look like some here are. :whistle:
    Any chance of contributing to the thread?
    :D Oh well said.
    Is paranoia turning into hysteria?

    Try asking Mayonnaise, who seems to fixate on GDP. :D

    And I notice that your paranoia re: Jock persists. :D
    It's a game Jock and I play on here.
    He keeps setting up sockies and I try to spot them.
    I'm getting quite good at it. :D

    Welcome, Rough Justice. :wave:
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    The Mancunian stalking MSE since its inception- and he thinks we don't know it...

    I've been here since 2008 too....Mr Sloppy Saver and Mr Dithering Dad...

    The most that reportedly are on this board at anytime is about eight, do you think we don't recognise you?

    I looked the other day and it was about 25. I was quite surprised and wondering whether there was a house prices board party going on somewhere and I was the Billy no mates that wasn't invited.

    That's the most I've seen since, well the days of threads about bitcoin, silver and house prices in London falling 50%.

  • What like writing a post then logging in with my wife's MSE account to agree with it and then setting up another tribute account?
    Trying that game are we? Okay ...... but you won't like it.

    A bit rich that BTW, wotsthat. Still, we're used to that from you and your cronies by now.
    I told you I don't post much and that is why, regardless of your false assumptions of who you think I am.
    Such baiting of other posters as you (and other remainers) are doing is not nice. Regardless of who you mistakenly think me to be you should perhaps pay heed to the old adage regarding the word "assume". I cannot (despite what you think) speak for other posters here that you similarly accuse.

    Do you suppose we should ignore your reporting of others in tandem with users such as theophile, zero gravitas, gfplux, zebra, joe and others?
    Talk about "daft", it looks very much like you must indeed think we are. No doubt you will try to say that I have not seen you and the others mentioned target, bait, and report others repeatedly to acheive your aims? Posters like trickytree, conrad, jock, setmefree and more. All because these repeatedly caught some remainers out in untruths. All very prolific posters too unlike (I note) those that you try to accuse of being those posters in disguise. If I have noticed, so too will others have done - and this is I suspect why so many ignore your posts completely.
    It's fairly obvious.

    So if you really must call out other posters (wrongly in my case) it might have carried more weight in this forum if you had not yourself been shown to be disingenuous.
  • Once Brexit has been finalised and the figures are known would be more appropriate.

    Wages are rising now that fewer EU workers can earn more in the UK than in mainland Europe.
    Starting salaries rose in October at the second-quickest rate since November 2015

    Do you have something against promoting the wealth and wellbeing of UK citizens in priority to those from outside our country?

    Why wouldn't everyone be a little more happy. We have had 502 days since the referendum of laugh out loud chaos in Westminster. It's the best comedy show in Town.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.
