Frog2,

So glad you have joined. I look forward to your thoughts and comments. Perhaps you will be able to keep me from making silly mistakes.

I would love to hear your thoughts on if/how the city and trading has changed. If you feel inclined to tell, that is.

This weekend Beets, peas, beans, garlic and salad to go in. Spuds and onions already in. Much weeding.

11. NOT introduce draconian austerity measures to swiftly reduce the budget deficits, as that would put paid to " growth " . I think Ireland lost 10% and Latvia and Estonia over 20 .

It can only go on so long, I thought, but will this mad balancing act outlast me ?

Recent downgradings have been balanced by FT etc pointing at splendid earnings results --- so we're almost out of the woods ...

Doesn't feel like it to me .

PS I mostly lurk here, only recently discovered that I have a google ac,from years ago...to comment , and encourage !

PPS I was a depo and FX broker for some time from 77, so have observed banks doing mad things too . Off to the garden , a few spuds to go in ....
