The economy grew 'unexpectedly' by 1.2% in the last quarter. Underpinned by the building trade :p

I was talking about this today, one large developer we work for is opening up plenty or previously moth balled sites and they are selling well on already completed sites.

Less talk about a bloody double dip and more news like this can only be a good thing !

It was expected at 1.1% so it's only 0.01% better but I'll take that till the vat rate goes up in jan.
