I say it because I am mindful of the time just before the financial crash when I put to an economist our overreliance on the construction sector. He said everything would be fine and we would have a soft landing, except, and he almost whispered it, if there were an external economic shock. Sometimes we see the parallels. I do not want to dwell too much on it.
