What will collapse next....
Fishfinger replied to TheCountOfNowhere's topic in House prices and the economy
Wasn't the French armaments industry beset by industrial action during the 30's caused by communist agitators acting on the orders of Moscow? Their airforce was outdated not helped by the said industrial action. Also they had now idea how to tactically deploy their tanks unlike Fuller & Guderian. The Char B was not that brilliant as the commander had to aim and load the gun as well as the turret was too small. -
Are we heading for a 70s-style SQUEEZE?

Tesco chairman warns 5% inflation
Fishfinger replied to PeanutButter's topic in House prices and the economy
..And this is why for the last 20 years I've had a Cosco card. It's my anti inflationary tool. Back to bulk buying of food & essentials like my parents did in the 70's & 80's. -

With you on £3/Litre. We'll do fast and furious around the roads with my knackered Yaris😁 -
I remember looking for a one or two bedroom flat around Croydon in late '92-93. You could tell the reposessions as the kitchens and bathrooms were totally ripped out. ..And there were quite a few as wellI! In the end I bought a 2 bedroom masionette nearer to my parents (next borough over) which cost me £47,500. The owners were desperate to sell and they had bought it for £60K in the late 80's. At the time the mortgage multiplier was in effect so 3x my salary and interest rates were 9%..

Why introverts excelled at working from home,
Fishfinger replied to shlomo's topic in House prices and the economy
Yes I'm an introvert and my productivity has shot up wfh. Even if I work a long day I'm still at the most, only half as tired and stressed as I was doing a normal day in the office. -
No doctors or dentists about....
Fishfinger replied to shlomo's topic in House prices and the economy
At least you had the option of a NHS dentist! I had to go private and funnily enough I've looked after my teeth a lot more since. I have a Turkish Cypriot dentist who has 4 kids and he now only works Mondays & Wednesdays! (no - he doesn't own the practice)
