Nice try...
Nobody is trying it on. Would you mind telling us what the difference is if you use the GDP for the whole of the EU? You are conspicuous by your silence on this point.

I used the Eurozone figures because these were set out in the IMF schedule.

Incidentally, did I mention that Germany now looked like going into a recession? The grass is not as green in the EU as some of you think.

Correct, and press reports are now confirming that these pies have indeed been sold to them in the past.
