Can someone lend me a fiver?

Markets chickened out - thought we might close below the 4,900 today, might have seen some real falls then. I expect we will be back to 5,200 before the end of the week. I would lend you a fiver but I expect you would only gamble it away again

Transport costs (food in your supermarket) drive overall inflation and at every stage middlemen add their %-tage on top of costs to maintain their profit margins.

I'm a contractor, I don't care about the little people.

I'll rephrase that. I'm a contractor who knows how to survive when all this goes tits up.

AtW, you'd better be buying those tins of beans and Gold because come the revolution I'll be round yours to collect

You are obviously a very selfish person but you have tulip for brains - when businesses faced with raising costs they'll be cutting expensive contractors first.

Yup, come the revolution we ex-Vikings might revert to type.

Oh, just remembered, AtW's ancestors were probably Vikings too

You think?

Personally I'd be sacking the deadwood permies. No skills, no ambition, no drive. If they had, they'd be contractors.

Btw, read this... http://www.nodegree.co.uk/ it may open your eyes.

Everyone knows that contractors get the chop first, especially big mouthy ones like yourself
