Britain's leading soothsayers and clairvoyants are hoping that the nation's crippled economy has finally turned a corner, with the stirring news that unemployment in the UK fell by one last month.
Sir Fred Goodwin, a victim of the recession who lost his job at Royal Bank of Scotland last year, leaving him with only a meagre £700,000-a-year pension to live on, finally found work with architects RMJM just before Christmas. The job is understood to pay more than the national minimum wage.
"It's a bit of a career change for Sir Fred, to say the least," said his line manager at RMJM, chief executive Peter Morrison. "But he has transferable skills which we believe we can put to good use in the high-pressure world of corporate architectural design, such as the ability to brazenly demand extravagant sums of money without blinking."
"And, of course, he has a very nice suit," he added. "That's what impressed us most at the interview."
