"At this morning's breakfast summit, building trade bodies called for more state funding as well as increased pressure on banks to free up lending.

Gordon Brown told the meeting: "The flow of money is not how it should be and that is affecting confidence in the economy."

The Home Builders Federation said the £150m to boost social housing projects - outlined in this week's Pre-Budget Report - was nowhere near enough to help the industry.

This week, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) called for a national government scheme to mitigate the impact of the downturn on the car industry as well as "urgent action" to boost demand for new vehicles."

Shall I take the piss? One of my classes could do with more students. I'm sure it's due to the economic problem.

FYI I've had this wallet, 'a pielnoble' since I was 14 years old (14 years), it now follows the exact contours of my right arse cheek and is slightly faded.

Got attacked by something - probably another cat. He was in a bit of pain, and I didn't know what it was. Emergency vet thought he may have a broken elbow - and when they couldn't get a urine sample from him, there was also a possible bladder problem. So, X-rays for leg & bladder - neither of which showed anything up.

He was very happy to be home last night - although he's not allowed out until tonight.

I think the next one'll be over a grand (previous injury was £350 when he was hit by a car) smile

Well - speedy recovery to the little fella. Sounds like expensive business.
