I thought the Israeli-Palestinian thing is because they don?t have enough Marmite.


Anyway, what about Australia for that matter?


It seems that it isn?t the heat but the combination of heat and the Euro. As a currency it was obviously designed for use in economies where the people making financial transactions are not suffering from heat induced laziness and half-cut on olive oil.


The refusal to take sensible, honest consideration of climate induced cultural differences when structuring monetary policy is one of the many things that are wrong with the world today.

Anyone remember when shops used to give families tick,letting them have goods to pay back the following week,

When friday came they paid their bill and had nothing left to get any groceries and the shopkeeper gave them more tick,

never ending circle of debt.

This is how the eurzone is operating now,they will never be able to pay the loans back,austerity measures we all ready had those in the fifties.

I cant remember us having a bail out from euro funds, so why have we got austerity measures,and where was how refund Thatcher and Blair was supposed to have sorted out.

Conservatives will not be in goverment again for decades to come, the most heartless and unfeeling cabinet of men since Hitlers third reicht,hitting the old disabled and poor, because their Euro masters have more clout than them.

coalition Libs are just glove puppets.The real people will not vote for them ever again.

No....nor has anyone else



Meanwhile, LOL at scoffing at the impracticality of early sociologists trying to impose a theorretical map on different societies as they are far too complex for such generalisation but supporting the actual implementation of a single currency to complex and differing societies.


Anyone want to ask me what the Irish I work with feel about the hike in interset rates they had yeasterday to cool the German economy?

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
