The word is superseded for future reference. |

Don't worry about the spelling.
He almost got the context right.
Nearly! |

Quote: Chris28 "Possibly the most ludicrous sentence I've ever read. If you're trying to prove a point, epic fail.'"
Britain's growth forecast has been upgraded by the biggest margin in more than a quarter of a century.
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) - the Government's independent fiscal watchdog - revised up its forecasts for UK growth in 2014 to 2.7pc, from a December prediction of 2.4pc. Growth in 2015 was also upgraded to 2.3pc, from 2.2pc. At last year's Budget, the OBR predicted the UK would grow by just 1.8pc in 2014.
"That’s the biggest upward revision to growth between Budgets for at least 30 years," said Mr Osborne.
"That’s because we’re now growing faster than Germany, faster than Japan, faster than the US – in fact there is no major advanced economy in the world growing faster than Britain today," he told MPs on Wednesday. The UK economy is currently 1.4pc smaller than it was at the beginning of 2008. |

I believe out growth rate is marginally below the USAs 2.8% |

I wouldn't bother reading this bit, there is nothing interesting, witty or insightful down here, just this collection of boring words explaining that you really are wasting your time browsing this signature in the vain and futile hope that there will be a nugget, nay, a veritable goldmine of witticisms or divine philosophy. In reality, all you're going to get is disappointment, a sense of hopelessness and a random word.

Well exactly. Snapps gaff Along with Gove being consigned to the "naughty step" for pointing out the old Etonian clique in government has just shown Milliband was right to say the budget was for the privileged, by the privileged.
We've had the caravans and pasties budget; this time it's beer and bingo. What's next? Cutting tax on flat caps and whippets? Got to appeal to the north with cheaper bingo and and a penny off a pint!
Meanwhile Tarquin and Jemima can pocket £2K tax relief for their £10K a year nanny and can stash up to £15K a year in savings tax free. |
