16 Reasons We'll Miss The Recession

The list is here. Some of my favourites:

- Many high street stores selling goods that no one wanted to buy have
closed, prompting art galleries and other edifying enterprises to move in to the
vacant sites. Alas, all these shops peddling tawdry knick-knacks will be back
with us again.

- Dinner party talk of house price rises will return. People will no longer
be ashamed of being estate agents. Sons and daughters will again want to go into
investment banking rather than eco-farming.

- Service blossoms in a downturn. Waiters wait, usherettes usher, doormen
open doors. GDP growth = general grumpiness.
