simmo Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I hope so.. Analysts say preliminary estimates from the Office for National Statistics, out on Tuesday, will show gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 0.9%. That would mark the fifth consecutive period of GDP growth; the longest since before the financial crisis. In the last quarter of 2013, GDP, which measures economic activity, grew 0.7%. The encouraging GDP figures come after the Bank of England's revised its estimate of the UK's economic growth to 1% for the first quarter of 2014. Earlier this month, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said it expects the UK to be the best-performing of the world's largest economies in 2014, with growth of 2.9% for the year. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah for a lot of us it's over,but for those at the lower end of the pay scale it hasn't,food bank usage has trebled,fuel/energy poverty has risen too,but people are that narrow minded they just look at the big picture,ignoring those on minimum pay etc,as long as im ok jack is alive and well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItchyFeet76 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I got caught in a melee at my local supermarket the other day. It was whoops-o-clock (when they reduce everything) and some pikies were buying 2 cows' worth of meat and trampling over everybody in the process. I don't think it was due to economic hardship though, just a pikey thing ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovingtoTasmania Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 @pablo I believe that @ItchyFeet76 is using the derogatory term for a gypsy or Irish traveller but I might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerak123 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 So what is the form here? You post something and then people have a go at you about it. Is this for northern men only or can anyone join in?

Yeah i know MTT,because its only them who turn up to supermarkets late when they reduce items eh! A good friend of mine on here is of traveller stock,a girl with a good heart,with a good word and advice for everyone,who has suffered because of crap thrown at her by people on this forum,intended,and ignorant,the ignorant i can forgive i suppose,but just lately,this forum is becoming more of a headache than it's worth,i'm off,catch yer later girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItchyFeet76 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Not meant in a derogatory way, it's just what they're called around here. I guess it depends what part of the country you're from...? (like 'baps' and 'cobs'?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
