Those of you who have followed my previous blogs and read my FD Partnership newsletters will not be surprised by the latest data showing a contraction in the UK economy. Look around you , speak to your colleagues and observe people’s spending habits and you’ll see that we are well mired in debt still , and that’s without considering public sector cuts. It’s a bit like the school of thought that invests in shares by simply watching trends and observing the great British public. It’s basic but mark my words it works!
