Perhaps people will finally realise that we are in the Sxxt !! It will take a long time to recover from this, house prices will fall by 30% plus, unemployment will sky-rocket.. quite possibly we will enter a depression, we are already in a Recession, there will almost certainly be riots on the streets of u.k towns as social tensions come to the boil !! ... but on a positive note, I will be here to cheer you all up :T

This is a personal opinion only. This is a forum for personal opinion.



I'm afraid people who consistently make basic grammatical errors, ie consistently through a lack of education rather than a keyboard mistake, somehow have their argument diminished for me.

If they can't discern between lose and loose how am I to trust that they understand much of the complexity of the current economic climate? Is it more the case they are simply jumping on a bandwagon and spouting rhetoric?

I'm afraid I don't believe the "almost certain riots" anyhow, but clearly some people should be following the link kindly supplied above by steadysaver and improving their knowledge in other areas rather than worrying about riots.

JonnyBravo, you do realise there is something called dyslexia that can cause people to make fundamental reading/writing mistakes time and time again? That doesn't mean they have a lack of education, they just can't see the error they've made. Give me a dyslexic Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Michael Faraday, Henry Ford or Richard Branson over some self-appointed spelling Nazi any day.

BTW yes I am slightly dyslexic...

What a condescending Jerk you are Mr Bravo !!!

Ultra10..What on earth is wrong with you

We have done this lose and loose thing before, why on earth didn't you learn how to spell the word in the 2 threads below where you have done exactly the same thing

Surely no-one on this planet is this thick?

Granted we can all make spelling mistakes and lose and loose is a very common 1 to make but you have been corrected on this not that long ago, surely you should have learnt and surely it should have registered in your brain:rolleyes:

Surely a wind up as i really cannot believe after 2 threads about your spelling beforehand that you would do it for a 3rd time:rotfl: Like i said, i do not believe anyone on this planet is this stupid.

He's right. Too many people play the dyslexia card with lose-loose, but the rest of the OP's post betrays no sign of it.

If their jobs are loose, maybe they should tighten them. FGS. I can't take any poster seriously who writes loose when they mean lose, never mind believe they have a sophisticated understanding of the financial system and economy. It is basic. Get it in to your head.

Not having a go but I think a fair few of those names come from "The gift of Dyslexia".
Einstein was not dyslexic.

Although it is a spelling mistake, nevertheless, ultra10 is able to convey what he wants to say. I think the "spelling patrol" should lay off nit-picking.

Although Lehman Brothers employees might have made lots of money in the past few years through their bonuses, my heart still go out to them for having their jobs evaporate over the weekend.

Jesus christ people........................the OP is talking about major UK crisis and all you care about is someone placing an extra 'O' in a word.

SHAME ON YOU. EMBARRASSING!
