Raw Data - you must be jetlagged or something! Actually, Iraq invaded Kuwait on the 2nd August 1990, which prompted a massive short term oil price increase and which was the final triggering factor for the recession. Desert Storm commenced on the 15th January 1991, with a ceasefire being declared on the 28th February.

My synopsis was indeed 'worst case scenario', following on from my earlier thread where I said: "Plan for the worst; but hope for the best".

Looking forward to debating the other 'gaps' with you later!
