recession official they reckon it will last for 1.5 - 2 years! Hoping it may bring the price of houses down just a little bit more I work in construction and business is booming at minute! worried about the next few year though
I seen this today, has anyone else noticed petrol sneaking back up again? the garage at Wardley had it for 81.9p per litre a month or so ago, its back up 84.9p now bastards
I have just been talking about that with the lasses at work! Shell at Easington services was 82p at beginning of week, i drove by today and it was 84p
Fuck me, heard that they were to make it official. Give whoever did a fucking medal, its not as if Ive noticed, no fucking jobs anywhere, sick to fuck of rising bills & about to go AWOL from the debt collectors... yay me
yeah i noticed diesel creaping back up... funny that at a time when oil should be EXPENSIVE due to middle easy uprest and that ALL past recessions have been linked directly to OIL PRICES, that oil is at a low... someone is subsidizing it Business is booming for you maybe but the building trade is in dire straits at the min.. iv never had tradesmen ringing me for work EVER but it happens every week now. The papers today are carrying storys about the Ikea houses in Felling they cant sell em
builders have had it too easy for the last 10 years, its about time they started charging more competitive prices and working for their money ! Apparently Blokloc are giving away free holidays when you pay deposit
Petrol is probably going up as a result of the falling pound. Still, it's a lot cheaper than it has been
Doesn't really affect me, work as a consultant for Oil and Gas/Large Ship design companies. Work is getting really busy
Oil has been bouncing around between around $42 and $47 for Brent crude, hence petrol prices bouncing up and down a bit. The lowest it went towards the end of last year was $37, so it has gone up a bit overall. I'm an energy consultant, seem pretty safe so far but who knows what is coming.
Oil has fallen due to global demand destruction thanks to the global recession. Stocks are good, which also helps. One of the main reasons it went so high last year was due to non-physical players trading in the commodities markets as opposed to their usual equities, thanks to lack of confidence in the equities markets and the weak dollar. Now that there is more confidence in equities, those traders have got back out of the market, allowing prices to fall.
Rossy, I don't know what that would mean for that guy but to give you an insight - the prices soared about July/August time and it cost me £65 (!) to fill up my 55l tank of diesel (nearly 2 weeks worth of driving) and the rates were £1.34 per litre. Recently its been £0.96 per litre and it only cost me about £45ish? Massive difference to my pocket. That would get me about 540 miles driven normally.
''not even doing out this like'' as I pick my face back out of the sand on the Global Beach Stage about 45 mins into the event. Good Times
Melt wants nowt to do with the official recession he feels the recession is devalued now everyone is effected by it.
