Its usually men that look a bit sad after 35 years! (pot belly, baldness, grumpy nature, no longer a tiger in bed etc. etc.) LOL or were you talking about the shed not the missus?

I don't know about the missus - she is still waiting for me to knock it down (But if you live in the green belt you never knock anything down).

However I do seem to be sharing the house with some wrinkly old grey bloke, who seems to lurk about the place. I keep catching sight of him in the mirrors.

I'm not looking forward to leaner times but I am glad that my kids are not going to be living in a world where they are constantly being tempted to borrow loads of money on a credit card!

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Obviously not University, where they fall over themselves to sign up the Freshers and offer credit a.s.a.p, knowing they'll be a good bet.

Robert Peston now on BBC2, the party's over..

Same message as this thread.

I don't think Peston has realised that there was and still is an unholy alliance between banks, the money supply and big government.

When we have got government spending back down to 25% if GDP, there might be a chance for this economy, with its workers making 5 times the going rate in China. I don't know what we do with the current selfish benefit drones ("I've worked for 30 years, I'm entitled......")
but for God's sake let us get across to the stroppy teenagers that that they will be citizens of a 10,000,000,000 citizen global economy in a world depleted of its natural resources and NOBODY OWES THEM A LIVING.

I found it quite strange that the girl with a 1st in Psychology was stacking shelves in a local supermarket for minimum wage when TESCO are crying out for managemenrt trainee entrants, I would have thought that psychology was a fairly relevant retail discipline.
