UK Construction Industry Dips Into Recession"The downturn looks set to deepen in Q3. Meanwhile, Brexit negotiations will be protracted, so businesses will hold off committing to major capital expenditure for a long time to come."

Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -
about the old chestnut that the Summer months are the quietest:
(2014 figures but other years are all very similar)
But this is when sales complete is it not? In my example, I am likely to complete in September but the offer was accepted in June! With the average of 12 weeks, presumably any sales happening in August wouldn't appear in those figures until November (once it's completed) and therefore that does make sense and August would be a very quiet month?
Apologies if I'm missing how the figures above work, but that seems to make sense to me.0 -
Bad though the coming recession will be - there are worse things just around the horizon without mass immigration...
“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

Well http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/indices-land-registry-national-monthly.php just says 'sales'. Let's assume completions.
Funnily enough, in 2013 Nov and Dec were the busiest months per that page.
2013 Figures - Month vs Sales

We're meant to stay positive, so my take on this is I hope it frees up a lot of builders and I can get an extension done for cheaper should I decide to do so.0 -

Oh no.
Will Brexit stop robots coming here too?
It's worse than I thought.
What if we paint them white, rather than yellow/black/whatever?0 -

you are saying that in 35 years time there may (or may not) be a shortage of labour:
any immigrant aged 30 today will be 65 at that time and so part of the 'problem' and not part of the answer.
we have no current shortage of labour so we can wait for 15 years and see what happens
lets stop all immigration with immediate effect and improve the lives of our own citizens and make decisions about 2050 nearer that time0 -
Have you asked this circle of people if they voted in the European Elections. Given the very low turn out I suspect they didn't. Did you?
Yes, I did.More of us should have spoken up about our support before we ever got close to a referendum.
I did that too.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.0 -
you had the choice of voting for the UK to treat all peoples and countries of the world equally
No I didn't. Had I been offered that choice, then I would have voted for it IF it meant moving quickly towards free movement rather than away from it.but you choose not to do this, but to entrench the insular union of white christian exclusively European countries.
You still seem to be obsessed with colour and religion, but I don't supposed I should be surprised.
Can I ask how many people born outside the EU you employ? Non-white people? Non-Christians?lets stop all immigration with immediate effect
Hang on, what about this mythical "point based system" that we apply equally to everyone? My, how quickly that was forgotten.and improve the lives of our own citizens
How do you define "our own citizens"?I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

Hang on a minute - didn't the first old age pension start in 1908 & apply to people over 70?

So in 1901 there wouldn't be "pensioners" as such
