Recession obsession
Okay so there’s a recession coming. What am I supposed to do about it? It’s not my fault. I didn’t get involved in the sub prime housing market in the US. It wasn’t me offering dodgy loans. The only thing they can pin on me is that I have on occasion talked about a desire for house prices to come down so that I might one day be able to afford to buy somewhere to live. But this wasn’t a very sincere wish anyway – basically I just want to be able to put up coat hooks – an act forbidden by my current landlord. I don’t really think that this could have had much of an impact on global business confidence. But if it has then I apologise. And if not then why is this whole recession thing making me so edgy? If I could make a massive investment in the UK economy to put things right then I would. But I just don’t own BAE Systems or Microsoft so there’s nothing I can do. Sorry about that. But it would be nice to have somewhere to hang my coats.
