Well, yes, or nuclear war. However, a hung parliament is exceptionally unlikely and no interest rate cuts is relatively unlikely, but obviously not impossible.Comment

Read somewhere years ago that open plan offices are pretty rubbish for productivity even though they were adopted to aid communication\collaboration and maybe you can see why, because when I started work in 1989 the office looked like this. I was hoping the pendulum would swing back to between this and what we have now.
As to Architects not concentrating as hard as a developer, I wouldn't know; but I do know I need to concentrate hard and wfh allows me to do that.Comment

A playstation would have been out place as the film was was aiming to portray Monotony and Boredom.
Even though back in the early 2000s i worked at a few places that had playstations but never saw anyone ever using them.
Unlike pool tables which actually get used everyday, however management is always keeping an eye on how long people are using them, or more likely its workers complaining (grassing up) other workers when they are jealous of them spending too long on the pool table, saw that happen a couple of times.Last edited by Fraidycat; 5 June 2024, 10:15.Comment

Not sure why Sunak went for it before the rate cuts. He must know something: Either no rate cuts this year, or at most just one rate cut this year, and/or the economy is set to worsen in the second half. If the projections were positive then he would have waited..Last edited by Fraidycat; 6 June 2024, 06:11.Comment

There is always a justification to why the market is slow but the real reason is that the market just sucks baws and it's been like this for yearsComment
