    "driving growth" is a nonsensical juxtaposition of words created by tea-leaf readers and martini swilllers.

    Nothing can "drive growth" except the government pumping in free money like some sort of farmer pumping in growth hormone because he is hellbent on seeing larger hams.

For ten years?

since 2005 WOW!. 2005 was great. A real high water mark for British tech ...
