Re: Looks like UK is the worst

Maybe... but Britain is not a EUR country. The countdown for the devaluation of the EUR currency has begun... I think there's currently a window of opportunity to buy USD --the window will stay open until November 2004 and the uncertainty on the US election is cleared up... After November, I'm afraid the Euro will be in for a dive...

Re: MANUFACTURING JOBS

As far as Britain is concerned, there isn't a UK manufacturing sector anymore... Britain sold out all of her industrial assets in the 1980s and 1990s: ICL to Fujitsu, Jaguar (car manufacturer) to Ford Motor, Rover/Morris to BMW, Rolls-Royce/Bentley to VW, Bass to Interbrew, etc.
