Quoting Mr Hatch
I understood your question like this: "Why is Germany doing that much better than the UK?"

The answer is, "because Germany is lowering wages beyond belief."

Since 2005, close to 18% of the people working lost their fully paid jobs. Those people are working for much less now, as low as 1,-€/hour.
Well I meant "how crap is the UK economy" not the opposite ....

Point was that the UK is slightly worse in macroeconomic terms than the comparable in Europe, yet we hear Osborne and the BOE preaching how the UK is a lot better than those "savage" continentals in the EZ ...

The main critic was in how Cameron managed to put the EU referendum as front line for the economic problems (triple dip, high unemployment, highest inflation in Europe, deficits and macro numbers only comparable with the Piigs, etc ) and not the real short term economic internal problems ... UK media seem to forgot the real short term issues to reform, circus and populism for the masses and nobody talking about the urgent economic problems/solutions .... we'll see how it pans out but usually sooner rather than later markets will take care of the punishment ....

so on first name terms with pretty much all of the outbound management team for my shift pattern and the senior ops manager even came and sat with me in the canteen today to shoot the shit... given that there's a real "them and us" type atmosphere between management and non-management in that place, if i play the office politics game right, reckon it's only a matter of time before i start ranking up...

Good stuff Archie. It cracks me up when people love to build an illegitimate basis of animosity. So let them. Some of us will walk right on by and shake the hand of the person where it counts the most.
