   yes, pipsquanderer, he and the old lady have done an admirable job keeping sterling weak and UK goods competitive…..

   Question is, what UK goods, huh.

   So now Darling’s saying keeping fiscal stimulus is absolutely vital.

    what else…ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
    . you know the guy i mentioned to you at PWC. i always remember him putting his name on the morgan waiting list when he was 14. when he got delivery (can’t remember when) he promptly put his name down for another one. just plain greedy.
