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.

And if the reasons are not government strategy?

What government strategy?

Have they a new model or are they working without a model.

Haystack,
Cuts with eyes closed is wrong.

They should stimulate growth while balancing expenditures & strengthening fundamentals ... The couple cannot stay in their job if they continue supporting each other closed eyes.

I was alluding to the fact that the BBC now think that 35-49 is middle aged! :-)

Ahoj,

They are winking at each other and sitting in jobs which they are being overpaid for doing.

It is a pity that retribution is out of favour.

What this present bunch did when previously making in their false, fraudulent expenses claims is nothing in comparison with the harm they are presently doing to the UK's long term economy and its society.

They are committed only to protecting themselves and what they possess.

S,

35-49 is middle age for me.


Sorry, A and G.

I wonder if Cameron will claim this as a victory for the Coalition, or try to hide behind this event, as well as "his" successful "Olympics".

The failing economy will be back on the front pages again. Oh, dear!

For long time, Apple was the only riser dominating the US market. Now, the rest are going to join in. I agree, Apple can only rise further but not as much as other good companies, IMO. Watch AMD and Intel today and ...

A small dark brown Richard - Richard III dig: 'Strong evidence' bones are lost king

Archaeologists searching for the grave of Richard III have said "strong circumstantial evidence" points to a skeleton being the lost king.

The English king died at the battle of Bosworth in 1485.

A dig under a council car park in Leicester has found remains with spinal abnormalities and a "cleaved-in skull" that suggest it could be Richard III.

At last they have found Lord Lucan.

yes Fred, good for history book publishers, new editions will be published as a result.

Thank you for the graphs Skinny

Breweries in UK at a 70-year high, says Camra

The Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) says there are now 1,000 breweries in the UK - the highest figure for 70 years.

Camra said 158 new breweries had opened in the past year alone, the highest number ever recorded by the lobby group's annual Good Beer Guide.

The organisation said the growth rate had quickened over the past 10 years and that the number had doubled in that time, with one brewery for every 50 pubs.

Camra called the figure "astonishing".
