This is unfortunately true to a large extent. £50-70k a year to young guys with little or no qualifications. In the middle of a credit splurge and materialism overload. Your example above is frighteningly accurate. The social cost of a drop in the industry will be seen in marriage breakups etc as the wife with expensive tastes generally will not accept a drop in standards. Sad state society is in thesedays that's for sure. Walking dead.

I don't understand your point, can you elaborate? I'm not a hardcore poster.

See my above post. "It's not what you know it's who you know" The problem comes when the loyalties to money outstrip the loyalties to people you know. In my experience many of the more working class non-grad type boys not used to money have been pissing it well and truly up the wall.

Good gifs lol I was having a drink waiting on my train the other evening and an oil worker was chatting at the bar. The guy was, to put it mildly, no MENSA candidate... Biting my tongue I was. He said he does "next to f all, it's great". Someone asked his trade. "Not got one, I just help out with stuff that's needing done, it's a piece of p***. I go on holiday here for two weeks then fly out on holiday for two weeks". Unfortunately for the non-offshore workers, these guys have been larging it round the pubs for a long, long time splashing the cash and attracting women along with it, non-relatively to their looks or charisma. There were a few other gems from this guy which I forget, but his general state was one of privilege and ignorance. He said he bet £100 on a football team to win when they were losing the match, won £400. Some guys get all the luck, eh. It'll be a very sore bump for these types.

Lowest since late Nov '14

Aberdeen too of course. All the inter-connected little markups that not only disappear as nice little earners, disappear as earners period. Hard to take for any service provider...

Edinburgh is one big cabal

Absolutely

Goldman Sachs 'backs pro-EU campaign' Posted at 20:44 Investment bank Goldman Sachs has reportedly given a "six figure" donation to the campaign to keep the UK in the European Union. The US bank is said to have given the money to Britain Stronger In Europe, a cross-party group which argues that the UK is better off in the EU. Britain Stronger In Europe said it would not confirm the donation which Sky News said was a "substantial" sum. Share this post

I would expect it to hit 82.5 in real terms if not nominal at some point. The question is when?

At some point, the block chain of lies will fail. A company can't talk its liabilities away and neither can a debtor

I find it equally ironic and tragic that so many natives are leaving whilst it seems the tide of incomers never stops. Maybe the idea is that given enough time, so much wealth and human resource will leave UK for other shores that economies will reach a kind of parity. Bad for anyone growing up here.

my first thought is a long term move towards parity with the dollar

Show off

I don't either, as if there was a magical place I could go work for the national minimum wage, even if I had to share a bedroom with two others, modestly survive there on that wage and then go live happily ever after once I'd raped their economy for what's mine, I'd do it. Great stuff mate, hats off. It's sad from a human resource perspective (lol). I think it's only right that the UK doesn't matter to you, because you only matter to the UK if you do what they want.

Pffft... I dunno, really don't know, but that roof looks like it's had the crappy tile paint put on it. I hope someone buys it just for the bantz. Seriously, I don't give a damn about oil etc. Aberdeen is a grim city, up its own **** and full of poverty... you'd have to pay ME £400k to live there permanently. I'm sorry if that offends anybody but it's how I feel.

This post I find sad but totally understand. I feel exactly the same way. Unfortunately, even a mass exodus of younger, intelligent people from UK shores won't make anybody take notice. It's probably what the PTB want, so that EU folks can come in and take our place. Positive for TPTB is that foreign workers are less likely to revolt/strike or any other such empowering nonsense, because this system actually works very well for them. Negative is that they (generally) contribute virtually nothing to the UK economy apart from to the rentier...Which is what those planning to leave are doing anyway, basically... Not consuming. Many of our replacements are sending large % of wages back home (where they will be living mortgage-free in a detached house with land, paid for by us within 5 years if they knuckle down)

I don't think the problem is God-fearing religious types, of any religion. More, that the reason many seek such positions of trust and power is so they can abuse that position - Devils.

Haha. The only reason I'm still resident in Britain is 'cause I love a good moan...

Could probably shut the site down and leave this one post up.

Tapori is like a modern day Robin Hood, robbing from the negative balancers and giving it to the positives.

Imagine they were stupid enough that true democracy was abolished under their noses, replaced by an illusion, and they didn't even notice. That would be mad.

The knock-on effect to all those lucrative employment agencies will be real, too. Seems to be an agency for every job advertised.

That's so true. Jesus, I want to go home. But but but that can't be true, at 2% inflation it would take over 35 years!!?
