We sure are. Stats office confirmed it last week.

Aye, a precaution that is twice the size of our GDP.
Which is under heavy investigation by the EC for illegality.

That said, I moved house recently, and if you're renting it really is the time to drive a bargain.

EDIT - We're seeing an awful lot of UK/USA companies moving their tax domiciles here because of our lower rate of corporation tax. There is some pressure to change that.
