> What does he consider a "recession proof profession"?

In the early 90s reccession, I asked my accountant what would be a good business to start. He had every sort of small business and tradesmen on his books. Most were struggling. Two were raking it in, even though they had to pay council taxes of £2,000 pound a week.
They both had pornography shops in Londons red light district :-)
