We're having a sweepstake in the office on Gordon's favourite phrases for his speech today. Bonus points are also available for excuses as to how he managed to be so far out in his growth predictions. So far we've got the blame lying with Civil Servants, OPEC and the Iraq War (subtle hint at Tony).
Any other excuses as to why Gordo got his sums so wrong welcome in the comments…

Metric to imperial conversions. The figures he had were in yards, but he had assumed they were in metres. Or even better, he was working on 100 penny pound, and the figures he was given were from the old 240 penny pound.

It wasn't my fault sir. I did it right first time, but the dog was sick on it, sir, so I copied Tony's on the bus only he told me wrong.

I thought it was all because old people aren't dying fast enough?
