My barometer is a Barbican studio flat. I quite liked the idea of one of those two years ago when they cost £150,000. They are now £300,000 silly me... anyway its an easy 'unit' to compare

Funny, that many jobs going in the city, no one really gives a t0ss. If it were a manufacturing company we'd be mourning the loss of skilled jobs...

You have seen nothing yet. I wouldn't be surprised if this 6,500 will spiral up to 65,000 in a few years time.

I Hope not JU - I cried so much at the thought of 6,500 city types losing their jobs that 65,000 would just devastate me.

"However jobs will fail to return to record-settling levels until 2010 when the likes of China will return to the positive side of their economic cycle," it said.
Not quite sure what this really means. Is it English? can someone help me here?
