And in other news, bears defecate in afforested areas.

Is is just me, or is anyone else not surprised that in the throes of a huge depression, with lots of countries having massive overdrafts and sovereign debt, and with consumers being more careful with their money, that there aren't many jobs being created?

btw, I don't know where you get 42 million from - last years stats show that out of 62.3 million, 11.6 million were pensioners, and 12.2 million were under 16; if you also take into consideration the 1.4 million University students, and the 700k sixth formers, that gets it down to 37 million.

Then you seem to have forgetten the disabled, the non-working mums and dads - seems like some figures are being over-egged to make a point....
