    The contractor beside me who left a month ago got another one within a week. I'm still getting several calls a week and I don't even have my CV online anywhere. The shops are rammed, have yuo seen the travel agents? Not a seat to be had, standing room only. I still can't get a Nintendo Wii Fit in the shops for love nor money, they sell out in minutes. Several huge residential construction projects in my home town are still merrily continuing. Houses are sill being sold in my street.

    I blame the government.

      If the govt/media are trynig to scare you about something, it means they want to pass some laws which you wouldn't stomache otherwise.

      e.g.
      VED doubling on older cars = they want to 'fall back' to Road Pricing, hoping it seems the lesser of two evils. You'd never agree to Road Pricing on its own

          You aren't going to cry when it's not a recession?

            I think a purging of excess is in order so the world can return back to normality. But I don't care either way as I am sorted.

              And we disagree on the severity of this 'correction' - I think it'll be merely a trimming of luxury goods and amounts of credit, you seem to think it'll be 3 million on the dole etc.

              We'll have to wait and see.

              I can't help but get the impression you are relishing the prospect of a bad recession simply because you are sorted, and you want to laugh at those who didn't have the foresight to be sorted like you. If this is unfair, I apologise, but that's how it comes across.

                      Do you consider vehicles assets? Does this mean an upgrade from the Aygo is imminent?
