Taxi Driver Online

Oh and incidentally, if you are watching the main-stream media and believing the tripe, they spout. You could be forgiven for thinking the economic situation is pretty dire, well trust me. It's even worse than they are letting on. The worry isn't, if, things are going to come apart at the seams. It's, how bad will it be when it does? At the very least you are looking at years of recession and depression and the last place you would want to be, is driving a taxi. Taxi drivers are at the very tip of the sword because fuel prices are going to go through the roof. Enjoy!!

Good luck

I do hope you haven't got a shot gun licence skull ! The way youre typing you are seriously depressed or something !

Yes our economy has been badly damaged by an over reliance on financial services BUT I believe that 2012 is the year serious rebuilding starts and I personally believe that this government is less blinded by idealistic dogma than previous and might actually do some right things and once unemployment reaches 4 million maybe the mass immigration problem will stop as they will realise Britain isn't a goldmine

But above all else its up to each and every one of us to look after our own businesses and keep ourselves afloat and that is the challenge to make sure you keep swimming when others around you are sinking

Edders23, I see myself as a realist and not a bullshit artist.

I actually find the economic situation rather comical. The whole thing is about lending money with interest. While racking up a huge commission and then retiring to some, sun-soaked island, with no accountability for the mayhem you've created, with all your dodgy loans heading south.

And the government's solution, to print even more money while pretending the problem is under control and sustainable.

I know. We'll bring in austerity measures to give money a value again, and let the little people pay for our indulgences. Sh*t Edders! It's like the whole thing is just a bad dream.

Oh and Edders, the truth is, there's not a government on the planet that know how to solve the problem. And you just can't print the problem away.

No one knows where this is all going to end, let alone where the new beginning is.

Well let's see who's right and who's wrong?

I do a tally-up once a week and once a month, im always ready and happy to jump ship, why worry?

For me, it's not about worry, but more of an interest in seeing how much people can take before everything goes, pear shaped.

At least, a partial collapse of the Euro is on the cards which will trigger a deeper recession/depression. Inflation, unemployment, greater austerity measures, and mass civil unrest, but that could be least of our problems.

Israel is desperate to hit Iran's nuclear facilities but are unlikely to make a move until after the American Elections. Iran, on the other hand, will retaliate in a number of ways but the big worry is, by laying mines in the strait of Hormuz, cutting off 40% of the world's oil supply. This is where the Americans would step in of course but even the uncertainty would send oil prices through the roof.

You can imagine what you'll be paying at the pumps?


May you live in interesting times.

Doom and gloom being spread so unnecessarily - we are talking about a few countries going to the wall!! - Do you think for one minute that the remaining 165 ish countries in this world are not going to be open for business - as one door closes another often slams in your face, in this case it affects the higher echelons so that is not going to happen.

They will be busy behind the scenes opening up new business links......................Britain is open for business........make no mistake................glass three quarters full for me.

I suppose that I am hoping against the odds, having said that we do not belong to the "Euro" and it would be foolhardy not to seek out new business................lots of other countries out there!!!!

But the EU central banks wont let them go under, they will get bailed out - and guess who will pick up the bill, while still paying to bail out our OWN banks (with no handout)

Pedro, Mario, Kostas and all the rest will carry on sucking olives and riding a donkey cart while the UK taxpayer gets sucked dry....

Ah but you've got to ask yourself what a bail out means and how much will it take? The truth is, the debt mountain is so large they are printing money out of thin air and devaluing it in the process, with little prospect of it ever being repaid.

They need trillions and not billions, the money they've thrown at this problem so far has only kicked it further down the road.

America and Europe are bust.

I see that the Franco-Prussian (2012) pals are STILL trying to draw blood from Londons financial transactions market despite Camerons hissy-fit...
