BBC can finally use the R word instead of 'the downturn'
Telegraph: UK recession: It's (almost) official
Figures published on Friday will provide official confirmation that the UK is in recession for the first time since the early 1990s. Analysts expect the economy to have shrunk a dramatic 1.2pc in the final three months of the year after contracting 0.6pc in the previous quarter. The collapse in house prices and crisis in the banking sector has driven the economy into what many experts now predict will be the worst recession since World War Two.

Maybe they'll be able to use the word repossession instead of "possession order" too.
Maybe not.

Except in Scotland, everything is booming, Little old Ireland has lost 200,000 jobs in the last year, however, in Scotland only 49 jobs have been lost.
