I'm more inclined to believe our inflation is closer to the Netherlands 17% than our so called 10% for a start and it would be interesting to see how much of that so called 0.2% "growth" is based on inflation and not tonnes of stuff out of the factory doors. Given we are apparently a "service based" and not a "manufacturing based" economy these days (what a load of complete and utter bollocks that is) of course you can't measure everything by tonnes of stuff out of the factory doors rather than its inflated value anymore. All those cleaners working to clean offices and shop floors in factories that don't make anything anymore. How do they ever get paid?

So the alternative, I assume, is going to be based on bankers bonuses from now on? What a Brexit bonus that will turn out to be.

Regarding the evil pair, I doubt many parents weren't worried as news of the "Moors Murderers" spread if their kids were a bit late back from playing "down the rec" with their mates. It's a bit late for his mum unfortunately, but it's good they have at last found him and can give his bones a decent burial.
