Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Fred,

I think you are too negative. Many companies in Germany and UK cannot find skilled workers to do the job. Check the job sites.

Money from parents have always helped children and will continue to be a free source of money for them.

Aren't you happy to help your child? The same for everyone else.

BTW, we do not need a U turn, and rate rise as a consequence. The slower the recovery the better for companies.

US started to recover, Europe will start as the weather gets warmer. UK will do well due to Olympic games.Asia has been enjoying a good ride, slower growth is good as it prevents oil price to jump.

Ahoj,

I have been able, due to good luck, fortune and caring parents, been able to help my children and my grandchildren.

My wife's commitment to them has been and is greater than mine.

However, the most important gift to them has been good health, decent education and help to travel.

Money from parents have helped some from various sections of society, not all. Some parents haven't the finances to do so.

With the increasing "responsibility" and soaring costs of welfare in old age the ability to help children will be diminished for many.

Hays, earlier remark of "excellent" when stating that Libs will support NHS changes may be short termed view.

Slower recovery, from what. A deeper recession than necessary.

Good for companies, rubbish.

I suppose it is becoming fashionable to discount the unemployed, their families and the effects that unemployment has on social morality.

But it is on their previous work and future work, of some of those do/did enable the others flourish.

You can't have an successful industry, without employees who spend their money with that of others in the economy to support it.

-------------------

This government is fiddling, making headlines without any long term economic policy.


They are drifting, looking for a boat called "hope". Their boat is sinking!

Fred is both thick and stupid and is out to do our country down in whatever way he can. The squelch button was designed for him.

Au contraire, T_i_m, Fred thinks the squelch button was designed for me. Ironically, it was designed by me. Hoist by my own petard, you might say.

Fred,

I think you are too negative.

I think Fred should be negative and positive and sit down in a chair ........... and someone pull the switch

the trouble these days is simple the uni degres are worthless they cheat and if you put 50% in a room with no computer and no calulator they would be lost .
that is the facts and very bad news when an employer can not trust the degrees worth

Tanker,

Some degrees are of doubtful value, or valuation of the person who possesses them.

This partly due to the changes to university financing in the 80s under Thatcher, and the change in status of some the of technical colleges.

The financing changes to the market considerations led to many Mickey Mouse courses and flogging of such to overseas students for their gold. Many students, who would not have been previously considered university material, were admitted when a more suitable training would have been appropriate.


These dumb policies were continued under the Blair governments for a number of reasons, perhaps including altruistic reasoning.

But part of the decline in university standards was due to the constant changes producing apathy amongst lecturers and introductions of short term contracts which left them morally diminished.

Many of the best moved overseas and in the market for "apparent" stability.

===============

Alds,

Do you go out drinking with Tim?

If so I think you should change your Brew, as it seems to be getting to both of you!

Try and have a better day to-morrow!

When did the Water company get flogged of to the private enterprises?

Was that a tory government?

Mind the yields have been good.

Why hasn't there been sufficient investments into the systems to prevent droughts in the South East and other areas?

Is Osborne going to bail them out?

=========


Just realised that Cameron is like the weather.






Changeable.

Faces two ways at once and can't be trusted.

State-backed mortgage scheme NewBuy 'threatens negative equity'

The Government’s flagship scheme to revive the housing market threats buyers with “instant negative equity”, a leading analyst warned as it launched on Monday.


“From a housebuyer’s point of view there is a very real chance of instant negative equity, since – if this is the only real source of 95pc mortgages and it is only available on new homes, where volumes are near historic lows – there will be short-term upwards pressure on prices, which like buying a new car, will evaporate when the buyers put their keys in the lock,” he said."
