During the last few weeks, things have taken a turn for the worse
Independent: The credit crunch is starting to bite

This is ridiculous analysis. Anybody with any sense knows that credit issues and related markets take time to cascade cause and effect. Its like, oops, is there really a consequence of credit reduction? Umm, I thought it was all just a bad dream!!! Duh!!

We haven't settled in the starting blocks yet! The UK economy is still benefitting from the excess liquidity which will take time to drain from the system then the term "the Emporer has no clothes" will gain its true relevance. Only then will people relearn the true value of money.
