anne, according to the FT, in the past year: sterling's fallen from about $1.55 to $1.25, inflation's up from 0.5% to 2.9%, GDP growth has fallen from 0.6% to a flat-looking 0.2%, but fewer emigrants are coming here and more are leaving (that figure's only up to the end of last year).
So it's all action already, and still a couple of exciting years to come!
