its certainly an interesting conundrum isnt it. We dont make a lot physically in the UK these days, income tends to be finance (generally additional money earner) or service industry (recycled money changing hands), so i agree partly with what you say. I do beleive though that the UK is much more capable than we've all been led to beleive, and that we could do better if encouraged. So whilst not sure we will thrive in the very short term, i have complete faith with some decent leadership (lacking usually i know) and more flexability we could rebase our economy onto a more sustainable productive footing and be much better for it in a couple of years or so.
