(ScotsMan) - FIRST our houses plummeted in value, then our pensions shrank, then we were told we would have to forego our child benefit. Now, the squeezed middle is being dealt another blow, a predicted global shortage of the one thing that can be relied on to keep gloom over the economic crisis at bay.
