Second guessing the economy and TV interviews
Yesterday I was interviewed by BBC Midlands Today about the state of the region's economy.
These things are always tricky to gauge. You may be interviewed for ten minutes, but you know that only a few seconds of what you said will get into the report.
I was trying to strike a balance: I didn't want to come across as the next Alistair Darling and be talking the region into recession, but I also didn't want to be overly positive and come across as naive.
I'm not sure the end result achieved that objective, what do you think:
At least a shot of the Birmingham Post website was seen by three million people. Silver lining?

I thik what you say is pretty balanced. Throughout the credit crunch it has seemed that the doom and gloom reports are overstating the case.
