        I completely agree, Pisk. We had a thread about 'corporate speak' a few months back, with many other annoying sayings. I'll see if I can find it and post a link in case you missed it;

                It's when you make money, either a little bit or a lot, and the bankers still nick it anyway....

                    It's ok, that's actually quite funny. Even more so when reading it on my MacBookPro aboard my yacht in San Tropez.

                      Negative growth is when the green shoots of recovery take one look at the murky daylight and decide to go back underground because it is much safer and warmer there and that they have the roots there for company.

                      It's like a minus minus......of a minus. A bit like a minus zero.
