Good post, I've highlighted the bit I think is most important, I've been saying this for years, we just have too much junk available at cheap (throwaway) prices, it really makes me fume when I think of it cluttering up our landfill.

Cheers L-e, I agree about the landfills, we have such a throw-away society at the moment. However, I'm doing my bit - on Saturday I went into town and got my old mobile phone fixed, saving the landfills a little (well, every little helps!). Hopefully a few good things will come out of the credit crunch and recession - namely people who have never been through an economic downturn will start to re-evaluate their lives and what's important, a modicum of financial security or the latest gadget from Apple, etc.

Its quite funny now, DD and !!!!!!. DD just likes a good argument, thats the only reason he comes on this board. The rest is just a personality clash. Don't waste my time actually reading it though.

I like a good debate and I'm not afraid to defend myself if required, but !!!!!! is getting increasingly bizarre. On this thread I simply posted a critique about the Daily Mail author, so unless !!!!!! is Peter Oborne I'm not so sure why he was so upset. I certainly didn't mention !!!!!! in my post, yet he started going on about me even though it was Chucky who posted the insult. He's ranted on all the way through this thread and pretty much ruined it. Seems really odd behaviour, especially with his own thread and given that he's always accusing other people of 'hijacking' threads.

Anyway, we had a really nice day out at Delamere Forest and I'd really recommend it to everyone who lives in the North West (or is visiting near Chester) and are looking for a family day out. It's pretty flat, away from all cars and there is a really nice visitors centre - serves great cofee and cakes. There are marked trails for cycling and walking, so even I couldn't get lost .

it's obvious that you are not happy as a person just don't try and bring your sadness and bitterness to this forum - you're a sad lonely man.

House prices will rise or house prices will fall (more likely in my opinion), but they will do this regardless of how rude people are to each other on this forum.

The lackeys at B&Q,

Did they not just post their last six months accounts and they made a profit as well.

WTF?_2

Chucky - you'd do well to remember that coming out with this sort of stuff (which you do on an all too regular basis) says a lot about the sort of person you are.

Nuff said.

Dopester, I am afraid you are being crazy. Economics for beginners lesson number 1: Do not cut spending in a recession unless you want a depression!

The deficit is the least of our worries!

Well said that man.

The loonies who want to increase interest rates and cut spending must have some kind of Grapes of Wrath fantasy.

What I would like to know is which party will have the courage to sort public spending out in 2/3 years time.
