squirrels and dreams.

That's already much more than you have.

You just enjoy your bedsit

Isn't it amusing that someone who lives in London where houses are very small makes a stupid (because I rent 4 bedroom house) joke related to the fact how small the "bedsit" is. Every time I visit London houses I notice how small they are - they might still be "3 bedrooms", but those are certainly more like bedsits.

It's like lilliputs calling other people midgets.

He'll be all right. Those janitors are needed during downturn too.

Completely. I do the hiring and firing.
HTH.

Not that I need it, BTW. I'm thinking of retiring to do a PhD anyway.

PHD - Post Hole Digging course?

The number of house sales has plummeted in the last three months, with estate agents in London failing to sell even one property a week, according to a survey.

The figures show that London has suffered particularly badly, recording the lowest number of sales during this period, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' (RICS) found.

The number of companies intending to recruit more staff this year has fallen to a 16-year low, according to a new survey.

The Manpower report found eight in ten companies are planning to keep staffing levels the same this quarter, with 7pc forecasting an increase in staff and 8pc predicting a reduction.

Most of the 2,100 UK employers said they have reined in their intentions to hire more staff since this time last year, in the weakest fourth quarter for recruitment since 1992.

The CBI, the UK's largest employers' organisation, has warned that the UK economy is deteriorating faster than it previously thought.

There was "no doubt that the mood has darkened in the last two or three months," its director general Richard Lambert warned members in a letter.

It's OK, I'm feeling 'cautiously optimistic'...

People have got to eat. There will always be demand for shelf-stackers.
