"The UK is on the verge of a economic boom. There are increases in retail sales and the economy points to things getting better this year. The same goes for the EU. I wil I am not mad, and am sure within 3 months I will be saying, told you so. One of the most important factors to a booming economic future, is a positive attitude from the public. So please, all of you stop moning and try acting in a positive manner, for a change. It will be the first time in nearly 20 years, that we can look forward to better times." Thanks for that, Keir | |||

"Well you never see a farmer on a bike x" You hardly ever see one on a tractor either. They hire contractors for the actual farming. But the main gainers are their accountants. Boom coming? PMSL. | |||

"With 3 businesses I know of nearby either already gone under or closing, footfall in towns down as there's fuck all there other than estate agents & charity shops (even banks are closing) I'm not sure the OP is on the same page as the rest of us" People have not stopped spending. How they spend it has changed, so the impact on the overall economy is neutral. Town centres took customers for granted, and now they need to create a different offer. | |||

"Well you never see a farmer on a bike x You hardly ever see one on a tractor either. They hire contractors for the actual farming. But the main gainers are their accountants. Boom coming? PMSL." Surprised you don't in rural Norfolk. Plenty of farmers on tractors around here. Plus driving around in ancient landrovers and clapped out pick-up trucks. | |||

" People have not stopped spending. How they spend it has changed, so the impact on the overall economy is neutral. Town centres took customers for granted, and now they need to create a different offer. " I spend virtually zero on discretionary spending. I have cut back on everything that I can. It is not a shortfall in cash that has changed my viewpoint but I am building up a war chest to protect me and mine as best i can. I am very much a Dave Ramsey fan, have been for years. | |||

"most delusional post of 2025 from op Eary days but Donny and China have done me a favour. All the stock markets are up. Peace looks like it might be breaking out, in various wars. So it looks a good time to be optimistic." I appreciate your post, but think the 'actors' in this particular scenario are not yet ready to let the good times flow. But I hope you are right OP.

I suspect that's not farmers (or not the big ones) - but contractors and farmworkers. Ancient landrovers are pretty thin on the ground round here - Hilux is a popular brand. Admittedly also bought by ex-Londoners overdoing the Country Life act. | |||
