You're not "thick" at all it's just that it's kinda underplayer. Who owns the vast majority of the land in the UK?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The public will not last much longer with these grubby shenanigans I tell thee..... Don't bother me, got a roof over my head, food on the table, health and my kids P.S. the USA is about, what 1.7 trillion in debt or something?

RockDr Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 P.S. the USA is about, what 1.7 trillion in debt or something? Darn wars cost a bit I fear Numbers I read yesterday were something like 14/15trillion, which a budget deficit of over 1trillion a year.

Guest Guest 47403 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hmmmm wikipedia..... dont you just love it Great isn't it they have to reference anything they print (legally I believe?) If you believe there is misinformation with anything you can email them to get it put right...............feel free to do so if you disagree with the information on the link :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hoff, we are out of recession, we have been out over 12 months, it is the cuts that I am worried about. Since we went into recession about 3 years ago we are still in minus growth since then, granted the economy recently has grown, just and i say just, by a miniscule amount and just recently we had a -0.5% figure, the country is still on the verge of financial disaster and if America defaults on its debt, or the Eurozone gets much worse, we could be thrust into an even longer recession ............. so the experts say.

Guest The Pom Queen Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Very, very old thread- times are different now. Four years down the track( actually- why are threads kept so long? Just curious.) It was a spammer resurrecting the thread. As per your question, one for the boss. I will close this thread now to stop any confusion.
