Amusing is how I see this. Everyday at work I get someone ranting at me how I have put the prices up....

Still I don't think my job is in much danger right now....

(Tills at Morrisons for those that don't know)

I'd actually say Morrisons have had some great offers lately! Do all our shopping there and usually a fair amount of good prices for things.
I've turned into a Morrisons fanboy

I just hope the R word does not stop people from spending, if so the economy will take a down turn !

It already has. September figures are down, though I'm not sure what the seasonal pattern is. I think that's probably a given to continue.

Of course, it won't stop the vultures circling when closing down sales happen. I think I spent about £150 in Rosebys (admittely a sizeable chunk of that was stuff I needed but was planning to get next year - circumstances obviously changed).

Not yet, you need 2 consecutive periods of reduced economy for that and we've just hit one, it will happen but by the defination it hasn't happened yet wait for December then it will be an official one

It wasn't growth nor was it decline. It's semantics really...

A mere technicality. Everyone from the PM downwards calls it a recession, so a recession it is.

My share options got mullered. Again. I'm now officially making a loss on the latest set. And I was looking forward to that money too (in about twelve months).
