Support your local small businesses you want to keep folks! Small businesses are in much better shape than big businesses because they tend to have +ve net asset, however, they need cash to prevent cash flow problems.

The BCC said the UK economy had worsened "significantly" so far in 2009, and said unemployment will hit 3.2 million next year, slightly more than 10% of the workforce.



A slight underestimation maybe? Some say the figure will be closer to 20%, which makes more sense at the current rate of job losses.

Patman, or should I say troll of Medialies,

I have always been a prolific poster on these boards. Nothing has changed.

Patman,

I asked you the question for your benefit.

If you are an enemy, what would please me more than for you to waste your life away to accomplish nothing?

Moderation is an unpaid voluntary service. Why would I miss it?

I am not your enemy. But you are your own worst enemy.

Hey Fruityboy,

Be careful of what you post.

I have never ever said "I have always been a prolific poster of crap on these boards. Nothing has changed."

The truth is you quoted something I wrote, but you deleted it, which is why my name was there.

To say this about yourself does not surprise me, but I'm puzzled what you were trying to quote.
