    This maybe true, but the same was once said of the horse and cart industry and we survived that going downhill.

    The point is, nothing is forever anyway. The construction industry is getting us through a few quarters at the moment, so let's accept it. Something will come along and take its place in a while, it always does.

    ffs, construction growth was resumed house price inflation, once real estate values fall so will construction even if they make same number of houses which is pityful in any case.

    Oh dear, you'd better go back and revise those maths notes sas, especially the section on averages.
    You would have thought he would be well up on the "inflation basket" calculations, him being a basket case and all!

    Perhaps I should have checked why transport is capped at 3% when the reality is greater. Do you know why?
    Or as minestrone said are you just wanking away on this thread?

    Spod is not going to know that, he never made it to uni.

    FFS, it is prerequisite for good jobs to have a degree.

    Your lack of education is visible for all to see. I may not have studied for a degree but I can certainly spell and string a sentence together.
    You were not accepted for any, you are a dedicated moron, uneducated and unable to get into Uni.

    On the subject of the UK economy all you can muster up is...

    That is why I was accepted for a degree course and you were not.

    You thick moron.

    The answer if you're interested is "No, I have never studied for a degree.". Now, let's follow that up with "Would you like to study for a degree?" Yes, I would when time and finances permit me to do so without detriment to my family and other commitments.

    Now, I sincerely hope that we've put that issue to bed once and for all but somehow I have my doubts.
