GBH
The difference is that the Romulans went to where they had the opportunities as opposed to the Brits who sit waiting for the UK industrial structure to change. Some have been waiting since the end of WWII

"so the conclusion must be that they have a frontier spirit , a different culture and we have stay at home and extract benefits entitled spirit, fostered and encouraged by the political party that sees them as automatic votes bought and paid for , after all Turkeys dont vote for Xmas...."

Concur.


"That's the way this country is heading, well educated kids on zero hour contracts and no future prospects!"

Disagree GBH2 unless you're referring to graduates of Media studies,Hair dressing or other such useless degrees such as diversity.

Not a fan of Zero hour contracts either myself but many apparently like them.

LOL, Introduce education and build a case around it, must make sense to someone !

[fenners66] 17/9/2018 11:44

If Eastern European work opportunities are worse, are you saying their education is better ?
I would not imagine for a moment that they have better education but worse job prospects - so the conclusion must be that they have a frontier spirit , a different culture and we have stay at home and extract benefits entitled spirit, fostered and encouraged by the political party that sees them as automatic votes bought and paid for , after all Turkeys dont vote for Xmas....

Gleeson posted another good set of results :))

G'morning Fangorn, My guess is that Eastern Europeans travel hundreds of miles because their work opportunities are even worse than those that now exist here.
Globalization and Greed at the Top has/is killing off the opportunity to plan for a future with working prospects!

Gbh2..the seasonal nadir fell on St Leger day last year..7215 on 15th. The peak again May this year 7877 as last year.

[stewart64] 14/9/2018 17:15

Nice finish to 170. All doom and gloom this morning with house builder shares falling to the usual headlines of relish from the financial media.

[gbh2] 14/9/2018 16:48

We didn't need roads when I started work, all we needed was somewhere to tie up the horse when we got there.

But the good news is:
St Leger's Day tomorrow, trading proper should commence on Monday.

[uknighted] 14/9/2018 16:35

Slept in a box in a hole in the road, we didn’t even have a hole in the road, just a box which leaked when it rained. But we was happy. You try telling kids that today....

[gbh2] 14/9/2018 16:24

I could only eat every other week and worked 30 hours a day but I had a job and some hope for the future.

Pensioners with savings have been watching 10 years of zero percent interest rates whilst young borrowers have had the benefit of the lowest mortgage rates in history.

I taught me nieces and nephews about the 8th wonder of the world and they will be mortgage free very early in their lives in comparison to us selfish pensioners.

We pensioners have been subject to greatest transfer of wealth in my lifetime from savers to borrowers.

Bingo!

but it's all the fault of the elderly all our problems...blah blah blah.

I say that as someone in my 40's

Current Gen X/Millennials are the most entitled bunch of front holes I have ever come across. Completely lacking in manners, etiquette and patience.

Hernando

You could have done what I did

Mortgage at 0.5 over base and then invest it :)

[marksp2011] 14/9/2018 14:05

The housing market has peaked. Volumes will tail off a bit and selling prices will fall some - maybe 10-15% on average.

At that level, it will still be a highly profitable industry throwing off buckets of cash.

HTB will get cancelled and that will close the gap between second user and new build prices

Reduced activity = reducing labour constraints so costs will fall. Build automation will also reduce more build cost

Overall.......it still looks attractive to me as long as they dont do anything stupid like lots of M&A.

[omg48] 14/9/2018 13:46

Well said Hernando

Leavers = project leap of faith. Just depends on which group of exaggerators you want to believe.

If (when) £ falls sharply on Brexit, interest rates would be put up to support it. How far and how much and for how long nobody knows; but plenty are prepared to ignore or think it a cost worth paying. It would hit younger home owners hard but pensioners with savings and without feelings might selfishly smile.

Whilst I am clearly a Remainer, I think it is wrong that any (hopefully) democratic decision gets shafted by the markets.

Carney = project fear,wash rinse repeat.

[gbh2] 14/9/2018 10:02

Seems Carney is on course for UK Citizenship, a seat in the House of Layabouts and a Place at the Taxpayer's Cash Trough for the remainder of his life!

Edit: As for the Housing market being stuffed, I can't see where you'd get that from Jugears?
