Thanks Golem. Obviously a downward trend which doesn't look like it will be changing direction anytime soon. Where do you get your figures from?

Hello john,

thanks for the link. It seems to confirm almost exactly what I was arguing in"Our New Reality" just a day or so ago.

Hi golemXIV,

Still enjoying your blog very much.

Saw this quote on bbc today in the article 'UK banking sector grows at fastest rate since 2007 and thought of what you have been pointing out for months (if not years):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11414386

the quote is at the end from Andrew Gray at PWC.

"While the banks are broadly in good shape, business is still constrained by the economic environment."

It seems a bizzare way of looking at things that the banks are 'growing' fast but constrained by the 'economic environment'!
