I thought for a second that traders had started jumping from windows again when I saw the title.

THere is no recession. People are panicking about a slow 1% rise in the economy? What? The only change that people are seeing is a slow in growth from 4%+ to 1%. The difference between small growth and boomimg growth. We may be on the edge of a recession, but the numbers are still in the positive. Anyway, it is currently taking 3 months to add the GDP of a country like Saudi Arbia to this country instead of the normal 1 month right now. So what.

Anyway, I am talking about the falling dollar. This is not a discussion about a recession. Please keep on topic. Thanks.

Nice article. Maybe the customer service jobs will come back here, so I can understand what they are saying. But I have soooooo much fun when a foreign telemarketer calls me.

The world's economies are so interconnected that if one (especially a big one like the USA) goes into recession, almost all of them will be seriously hurt.

The way you talk you would think that this is entirely a British problem with the British banks. Rather it is a global credit crisis with it's origins across the other side of the pond in the US.

UK "economy going down the tubes". How melodramatic of you.
