        Come to think of it -- it follows that current Islamic year is 1425 or so. Just imagine how much contracting work would have been out there to convert all Gregorian data into Islamic

          to be expected,

          at some stage, the 100% rise in the price of oil is going to have a downstream effect on the disposable cash in people's pockets

          2 years ago I paid .73 Euro a litre for diesel, now I pay 1.03 Euro a litre !

          On a 60 litre tank filling up once a week that's 80 Euros a month missing from my pocket compared to two years ago

              Chav, with your liabilities you should take this subject a little more seriously, if it affects my pocket, it also affects your customers who will have less disposable income to spend on Thai tat.

                Milan - I fear that you are more concerned with your missing euros than the plight of poor Arkwright.

                Sounds like your aspirations of purchasing Thai tat furniture have suffered another setback and you'll have to make do with the salvaged pallets as a table for another year or two. Don't let it get to you though old boy - there's more to life than money. Perhaps you will soon be able to send the new sprog down the mines.

                    FTSE seems to be driven by mindless fkwits who get paid a fortune to drive FTSE in the general direction of where Dow Jones is going.
