June 9, 200818 yr Then there is the 2 wars to fund and all the money that has been p*****g out of the country that the Polish have been sending home and not spending here.(even got their own shops) Good for the economy, I think not just another nail in the coffin. But you can't blame them as our wasters did not want to do the work and the government were too soft. Coming back to haunt them now though...... Also did you see the British olympic commitee awarded a badge making contract to a chinese firm.......What chance have you got with that sort of thing happening PS they will not cut VAT it is a lucrative source and boy they need all they can get......No favours. Don't forget the poles and other non nationals working here, pay taxes, NIC and local living expenses which significantly supports our economy. In relation to the badge making, the Olympic committee is like a business just like any other.It has to spend it's money wisely and if getting them made in China does that then so be it. Whether it be Xispa's or badges, its business. Getting everything made in Britain just because its British is not the answer. If we done that then our products wouldn't be commercially viable to sell overseas and that is where the country makes it's money. We must remain competitive on the world markets to survive as an island. IMHO
June 9, 200818 yr In relation to the badge making, the Olympic committee is like a business just like any other. mmm,you mean tax payer's money,since when has tax payer's money been spent wisely,the olympic's is bound to go over budget and they've stuck the main olympic site in the middle of a crap hole called East London,great who's going to want to visit there,most people try to avoid that part of London,what a waste of mine and everybody else's dosh.

June 9, 200818 yr Its still Cheap............ The price of Petrol versus Printer Ink All these examples do NOT imply that petrol is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are....

Is the dome not used these days? I worked on the steelwork in there on a contract that was know as the o2 casino. I assumed there was a major internal reconstruction job going on, was I wrong?
