I'm not trying to be a smart a*se or patronising, but do you read the papers or peruse the internet, Jinky? We are on the verge of another recession. Everything is going Pete Tong.

Ive had a Very Busy 2 weeks...But if I were to remove the Cause of that Seasonal upsurge, namely Game Shooting and Sports Fishermen then I would be quieter than normal. The Weekend seems only to consist of a steady Saturday night trade...and it feels like Fridays have been removed from the week as they are so quiet. the Day to Day bread and butter runs have all gone quiet, likely cause..Too many Volunteer drivers taking the P1$$ and taking the work on that front. However...School Contracts will tie things over until times get better. |

You need to appear surprised every now, or, then it seems to lend itself to the occasion. Think, "what a surprise, who would have though?"  Do you see the effect it has?  It's almost like you never seen it coming.

The last one never finished, it has 3 years more to run it's cycle anyway. How 2 create your own recession Step one - Have the media scare the population with you are going to lose your job stories Step two - Stop people from spending, this way you can kill manufacturing and jobs in one go Step three - Just when it seems to be getting better remind the population the cash world is collapsing Step four - Give the remaining jobs to people who don't spend it back and send it off shore. Easy innit, but always remember to be either extremely wealthy yourself or get yourself a king of the castle job first.

The only reason we had such a boom is because the banks were foolish with their money. They gave loans to people without taking any collateral. That has stopped now after a decade or so, but, it has created a culture of expectancy. The banks are now being reprimanded for not being foolish with their money, it would seem that they are in a no win situation. I myself think that they are right though because if you don't have faith in your business to put your house up as collateral on the loan you want why should the bank

ALI T wrote: their money Oh sorry not ALL the money in the bank is theirs, some of it belongs to investors and savers and with some banks it belongs to the tax payer. So next time I mention the money in the bank it'll read something like 'the banks were foolish with some of their money, some money belonging to investors, some money belonging to savers and some of the money the government gave them to bale them out
