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.

There were quite a lot of boys who wanted to get into neighbouring girls schools also.

Stan,

Very good.

My bones felt warm again.

Another 6 weeks and will be back there.


Max,

You seem to enjoy France.

Did you write you have a camper van?

If so, there is a good Camping site Bois de Boulogne Paris.

Transport from site to Metro stations Place Porte de la Maillot or La Defense and walk down the Champ etc.

Carnets sold on site.

Easy walking distance for most.

Also, it has a decent restaurant on site. (Never eaten at it, but others say it is good.)

Good site for short stays in Paris!

OK Alf, accepted -):

Interesting figures.

Interest rates up?

Pound up?

Exports?


The number of people out of work in the UK fell by 161,000 to 2.16 million in three months to April, official figures show.

This has brought the unemployment rate down to 6.6%, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.

The number of people in work rose by a record 345,000, to 30.5 million, most of which are in full-time employment.

The number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance in June fell by 27,400 to 1.09 million, the ONS said.

But the quarterly rate of earnings growth, including bonuses, slowed sharply to 0.7% from 1.9% the previous month. This was largely due to delayed bonus payments, the ONS said.

The total number of people out of work is now at its lowest level for more than five years.

The continuing improvement in the jobs market in the three months to April was due mainly to jobs created in the private sector.

The number of jobs lost in the public sector was 100,000, but much of this this was down to the reclassification of employees of Lloyds bank from the public to the private sector. Taking out the Lloyds workers, 11,000 jobs were lost in the public sector.

Why does McVey irritate me so much?

Much more than the Hazyone!


Unless she is the Hazyone in disguise!

What I can't put together are the following.

Passports application demands are up!

Disposable incomes are down!

EZJ, IAG, TUI, and TCG down!

Value of Sterling up.

Borrowing rates?

Unless, passports means some ---- leaving a sinking ship?

Odd world.

Simplistic explanation from Manuel will be accepted!

no bleedin' idea :-)

9-)

I would suppose it is down to the M.E. stirrings and doubts about forward bookings and cancellations.
