     Ah, ah, ah. There's a reason why it is said in financial circles that "when   
   the US sneezes, the rest of the world catches cold". If our economy is hurt   
   then so is yours.

   "When the '14-'18 War ended, Churchill said the 9.2s were to be dismantled,   
   put in grease and stored in case of 'future eventualities'. There was one   
   drawback. No Ammunition. This didn't deter Leather Suitcase, he soon had all   
   the gun crews shouting 'BANG' in unison. 'Helps keep morale up,' he told   
   visiting Alanbrooke. By luck a 9.2 shell was discovered in the Woolrich   
   Rotunda. An official application was made: in due course the shell arrived. A   
   guard was mounted over it. The Mayor was invited to inspect it, the Mayoress   
   was photographed alongside with a V for Victory sign; I don't think she had   
   the vaguest idea what it meant. A month later, application was made to H.Q.   
   Southern Command to fire the shell. The date was set for July 2nd, 1940."
