Felixstowe Docks in trouble?

Felixstowe town centre was heaving today and it makes you wonder if anyone realises that we are deep in a recession.

We're not in recession until we've had 2 quarters of negative growth, we've only had one although clearly we're (you're) in the midst of the second.

The recession is going to hurt Aus a lot so please don't think I'm crowing in any way. I'm not.

Happy Christmas my dear old thing anyway.

Thanx Generali, I have learnt alot from you over the last few months.
Why do you think Aus will suffer?
I hope our top managers are right in their estimation that by middle 2009 everyone should start pulling out of this horrible time.
But by reading your postings I think it is going to take a damn sight longer.
Englands loss is Aussy's gain, good luck for the future and Happy Christmas to you and your family.

Significant numbers of dockworkers have obtained mortgages of 4 or 5 or 6 times earnings using not their basic salary but basic plus every conceivable bit of overtime they could earn in a year and they were encouraged during the boom years to do this by lenders. Trust me on this one, I KNOW what I'm talking about.

Are you one of those Puggles? It would explain a lot.

Hey Pickles, you're not like that are you? No lie to buy for an upstanding chap like you, can't think where old TittieBoy got that from!

It has been quite a good discussion, Mr Tits lives in fantasy Land and turn up Jetski from the hourly paid to chuck his two pence in.
He cant understand that everything is not as bad as he wants it to be and then starts hurling abuse.
He needs to learn from you lot and do a bit of research first which would make him a much better challenge.

I've been doing a bit of research on mortgage multiples, found this gem from a year or so ago:

It was certainly pretty busy but I still managed to get a parking space in the main drag on the first swoop round..mind you, no waiting around to be served in any of the shops I went in but then I was only picking a few bits up and I was maybe lucky and missed the main rush.

Went into Morrisons on the way home for some non alcoholic wine and lager (after a tea stop at my parents which turned into a watching a film stop) and it looked like people preparing for WW3 had struck....loads of shelves completely devoid of things although I picked up some great bargains for a fraction of the normal cost.

And I found these from you too Pickles me old mate:

"We have no unsecured debt, just our main residence mortgage and our BTL mortgages, we have loads of equity in the properties but this does not matter because we have no intention of selling.When the crash occurs and the time is right we will keep adding to our BTL,s"


"Everyone has a choice, 13 years ago we started with one grand buying properties no one else wanted. We have just exchanged today on a house that we will turn in six months into a 600 hundred grand property to go with our 4 rentals Get off your @rse , stop blaming every one else and turn your life around"


"Never had negative equity, when I bought 1st property had large saved deposit, otherwise building society would not have contemplated giving mortgage"


and.....

FungusFighter So hands up everyone who bought property in the last 2 years with 50% or more deposit - did you?

Pickles Yes I did.

I think someone's been telling porkies....!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :T :rotfl:

Yeah you are right, Hands up.
I am a single bloke living in a bedsit, ugly as a pug and weighs in at 20 stone plus.
I dont own any BTL's or anything else.
There you go the truth is out.
You can get Jetski to confirm this as the truth.
