There's just been something on the news about the price of crude and the effect it's having on Saudi and all the other oil producing countries. Last year they were earning $1billion a day when the price was $150 a barrel, today it's down to $50 a barrel but are only earning $700million a day, the poor souls.

It's like everybody else, we've just got to ride it out and hope for the best. Better times will come again I'm sure although during the quiet times I think we will see some changes as government will want to be seen to be doing something even if it isn't necessarily the right thing :-|

The last few weeks round here have been shocking, yesterday the drivers were averaging 1 job every 2 hours and they were minimum fare jobs.
