Technology will undoubtedly lessen the impact of water scarcity (or rather misuse imo). When I was in the UAE much of their fresh water was desalinated.

Finally! someone who actually listened to what she said. It really sounds like she needs to sell up though or earn a great deal more. I struggle to understand why she hasn't come to this conclusion. She's like a bunny paralysed in the headlights.

Morrisons Plans 2,600 Job Cuts
singlemalt replied to TheCountOfNowhere's topic in House prices and the economy
This is hardly surprising. They've been on a downward trajectory for a while. They need to do something to correct this. I sold all my MRW stock last year, gladly I got out before I lost anything. Tbh I should've shorted them! Went in there last week on the way home to grab a few beers etc for the England game. 2030hrs and all the checkouts closed (bar one) even all of the self checkouts. Result was 10 people in the queue. Some even abandoned their baskets. Unmotivated staff shuffling around like zombies, weird heavy metal music playing that just made you want to get out of there asap. Rudde -

No they'll be the first areas to get crossed off the list. Perfect excuse for all the head honcho's in the council who live there to 'work from home' for days on end at the first sign of the white stuff. In fact I can see people in the council fighting to get their road added to the 'Do Not Grit' list.

The Way We Help People Does Not Help People
singlemalt replied to Frizzers's topic in House prices and the economy
There are whole sectors that have grown up around distributing welfare and 'helping' people. Those involved don't want to fix anything or their business/employment suffers. Placate and perpetuate. -
When Being A Nimby Blows Up In Your Face
singlemalt replied to giesahoose's topic in House prices and the economy
I sincerely hope that the people who objected to the flood defenses are the very same who are now mucking out their ruined kitchens, lifting sodden carpets and having a major headache dealing with their insurance company and that's before trying to dry out a damp house during a British winter. Completely deserved. Sweet irony. -
The Million Pound Crappy New Build Thread
singlemalt replied to TheCountOfNowhere's topic in House prices and the economy
I thought I'd clicked on the wrong link! Wow! How quickly money has become something so abstract. I advocate that one month of the year become cash only month. I'm convinced that it'd remind people of the value (lack thereof) of money. -
