How's the recession affecting you?

Louisa Compton | 11:49 UK time, Friday, 23 October 2009

So, Britain is STILL in recession. Official figures released this morning show the economy shrank for the sixth quarter in a row -- that's the longest downturn since records began in the fifties.

The 0.4 percent slump came as a surprise to experts who'd predicted the economy would grow between July and September.
