Absolutely agree, apologies if it came across as though I think nationalists were inherently racist.

Then why do many of the more...braindead? brexiters keep claiming the laughable line of 'we've got our country back' - when as you put it, it's not a 5 minute stroll.
Genuine question.

But it isn't really genuine is it? You must know that this is a turn of phrase; no one thinks that from 00.01 on June 24th we have got anything back, as this will take ages for all the post-brexit agreements to be signed etc

No need for apologies matey and we both know that a lot of nationalists are also racist. I'd also say that I'd never describe myself as a nationalist, despite what I just wrote as it doesn't sit right with me. Funnily enough, there's a bloke I work with whose brother-in-law is apparently a well-known Sikh Tory activist and who does describe himself as a British nationalist.
Ignore him, he's a wind up merchant. The very fact he's on here trying to wind others up at 5 to 5 on a Friday evening tells you all you need to know. He's a loser.
Have a good weekend!
The point is this, for example my worst expereince in business came around 1993, but I dont think this was ever technically a recession, sometime around this time interest rates flew up to 15%, it came at the wrong time (as if there is ever a good time to have 15% interest rates), for this particular business it just wasnt prepared, not enough capital, not enough profitable trading years etc. etc. I took a real knock.
So its no good looking for the ONS to tell people that we havent yet had two consequtive months of declining growth before it becomes relevent, business and individuals feel it as it evolves sometimes for different reasons in different sectors at different times.
[MENTION=26105]Soulman[/MENTION] said 2007, it seems he was technically correct as well, but a young whippersnapper of a Remainer came on and tried to deride him for it and duly posted up a graphic of a chart plotting the UK's GDP through the years and came to the conclusion that it was 2008 that was the exclusive year of financial instability and in his infinite wisdom tried to invalidate all of Soulman's points, it was embarassing.
I apologise, but dare I say ultimately you knew it was not a direct jibe at your family, it was more a ageist jibe at you, just a playful poke in the ribs.

Then you have my sympathy for your combined loss. I have had enough tragedy to deal with in my life, so can appreciate your feelings. However BG was not to know about your recent bereavement, as you well know, and would not have meant any disrespect. You could, afterall, have simply not replied. Since your last post talked of others being stupid and thick, BG replied in kind, without realising.

Why do you call fellow Albion fans braindead? (Takes one to know one)

I never mentioned anyone on here. It's not always about anyone on this board. Shock horror, there's people out there!
As BG stated i believe you were either at school or just starting college in 2007. The "quote was recession not financial crisis" you are quite right, which is why i stated that the recession started in the Construction Industry in 2007, October as i stated. The building trade goes into recession before most others. After 40 years in the trade that has always been the case.
I will let you into a little secret, oh insulting one...... you are the "stupid one", i can say that because as you know i do not need swear words and astericks to respond, i also know that in October 2007 my mates were being laid off, no texts and messages from firms or agencies, and future projects were put on hold.
You though were oblivious because you were probably walking home with your school mates.
I'm afraid that is quite frankly ridiculous, you cannot be in recession just because you felt like you were in one, it's like me taking a lower rate contract and claiming i'm in recession, I'm affected yes but clearly not in recession. The UK went into recession in the 2nd quarter of 2008, it's a fact and not for the first time on here [MENTION=26105]Soulman[/MENTION] was wrong.
Jeez, i stated the Construction Industry went into recession in 2007....
