Yes, purely because I've been reading financial experts' opinions and they believe so too. I don't know enough to give an opinion based on market data etc.

Was the Dot-com bubble a recession? I thought the last recession in the UK was in the early 90s.

I imagine after the Dot-com bubble burst it was tough but wasn't there so much money floating around prior that people didn't know what to do with it? Someone must have got rich from it.

Thing is though, hasn't the UK gone stupid when we've got to the point where no one views their property as a home anymore but as an "investment" with Kirsti and what's his face talking about how you can add £10k to your pokey flat by knocking a wall down. Location, Location etc etc.

Is it worth having a pension these days?

If I'm honest, I wouldn't mind a recession. Might bring house prices down. Bring on the crash! Markets work in cycles and it's about time things were corrected.

I admit, I'm being negative but I don't feel any benefit from the Britain that Blair and Brown has created in the last 11 years. The longer it goes on the less I feel this country has to offer me or people like me.

Phew! Feels better now. Thanks Wadds.
