<p>There&#8217;s been a <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&amp;q=recession+ending&amp;meta=&amp;fp=458d05167c37f829" title="Google results (opens in new window)" target="_blank">spate of stories</a> in the press recently, where various industry pundits are heralding the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8217122.stm" title="BBC Article (opens in new window)" target="_blank" >end of the recession</a>.</p>
<p>In true pundit style, the sources are covering their arses by throwing in the &#8220;but let&#8217;s not get overconfident just yet&#8221; caveats, but the gist of it all, is that things are less crap than they were not so long ago.</p>
<p>And I reckon that&#8217;s at least partly because of me.</p>
