Manufacturing slowdown continues

Has the recession finally arrived? This is not a question anybody asks in the UK manufacturing sector. Production is down for the fifth straight month. Year-on-year, it is down 1.4 percent.

It is funny how the world works. Banks stop borrowing to each other, the housing bubble bursts, but it is UK manufacturing that really takes the hit. Well, there is nothing like paying for someone else's mistakes.

I see Renter Girl's landlord is going bankrupt.

================================
... All these high-fallutin’ improvements are much too late for me. My landlord is going bankrupt, and so I must leave. Somehow, he’s accumulated twelve buy-to-let mortgages, you see, and nine are in negative equity.
Good job I packed, really.
