Was the economy of The City ever really in that much trouble?
I'm not convinced the rest of the country is feeling as optimistic.

Alt: I'd quite like someone to correct my posture, I'm an horrific sloucher.

Altalt: My favourite proverbs are Russian ones, for example:
Beat your wife with the butt of an axe, if she falls to the floor and cries she is fooling you. Give her some more.

I like russian jokes
In the time of Stalin's mass purges, a knock at the door woke a family in the middle of night. All family members, shaking in terror, jumped up.

"Take all you can carry with you, and get out at once," a voice sounded. "But, for God's sake, don't panic! It's me, your neighbour. It is nothing serious, just our house is on fire."

A man was in a long queue outside the butcher's.
After 4 hours he reached the front of the queue just as the butcher announced that there was no meat left.
He quietly complained about the shortages to his neighbour in the queue but the security guard heard him.
He said, "The state is going to let you off this time but I could have shot you for what you just said."
The man turned again to his neighbour and whispered, "Oh fuck. I think we are out of bullets."
