Well Done USA!

Yep..it's official! The United States of America have broken out of the downward spiral..they're on the mend! So that just leaves us..the UK!

Didn't someone say that 'The UK is best placed to survive a recession'? or something to that effect. Whoever they were, they were wrong. The UK now has to break out of recession the next time the data is measured and Gordon Brown must surely be crossing his fingers and his toes, because if we don't..it just adds yet another dose of misery for the fast approaching festive period.

For everyone (except those in Westminster) it is quite apparent that the problems of the UK stem around the fact we have nothing what so ever to sell to any other country. Its impossible to think of a reason behind why the UK has no national product. We once built ships, we once built washing machines and we once built cars. Now? well..we have a few call centres, those that aren't being transferred to Delhi ofcourse. What else have we got? oh! a Buckingham Palace and an upside down Wok in our capital city! hardly good enough to generate the billions needed to keep the economy stable and people in work.

The UK is a great help to the other nations that inhabit this planet. We buy cars from South Korea, TVs from Japan and electric from France! Don't forget that we also buy wardrobes from China and toys for our children from America. Yet it is blatantly apparent that we actually need to pay for these goods...so surely we need to sell something else in order to pay at the checkout? well seemingly not, if the government are to be believed. We can just add it all on to our credit card and worry about the repayments in 2050! It's becoming increasingly hard to find anything British made these days...i did pop along to Curry's the other day and noticed that they now have a cooker with 'BRITISH MADE ME OL' MUCKER' emblazoned across it..the salesman was very impressed with it, shame the handle fell off when i tried to gain entry to the oven bit!

The UK has gone from bridge building genius of the world to international laughing stock, our economy is still in recession, our factories have closed, we no longer have the ability to build our own warships or our own fighter planes..we used to have Concorde, the fastest aircraft in the world, but that retired..along with our good friend 'Common Sense'
