I have posted your comment at MW today as my comment of the day, I hope you don't mind.marksanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520830611440112455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766742034442136542.post-25342154038077816342009-01-28T19:41:00.000+00:002009-01-28T19:41:00.000+00:00Seconded.£100 billion savings seems a realistic ta...Seconded.<BR/><BR/>£100 billion savings seems a realistic target.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.com
