The Japanese economy is on the mend. Possibly just out of life support, but definitely getting better. I've been walking around factories and warehouses for the last 4 days and been meeting people who haven't taken a day off in a year. You can usually tell the state of the order book at any given factory by the level of noise and ear muffs are now de rigeur. You'd thnk this would help the ruling party, but a straw poll - consisting of four Japanese workers ;+) - suggests the incumbents might suffer in the General Election on Sunday. Let's hope so.

No, no font change. Are you sure it isn't something to do with Panther?
