recession

[christ]

just watched the news and they reckon were going into recession, what ever that means.
does anybody know what happens when we go in to recession. :-?

yes there will be even less work than there is now, but there is alot more money out there than there was in the 90s so maybe it will not be as bad as people think

Normal procedure is to only work 2 days a week start eating tesco blue stripe and holiday in cornwall ;D

dont know what it really is, but i dont think its the best time to be a tradesman, i havnt had work for 2 weeks but got 2 jobs to go and look at this week 1 with a builder so hopefully could get a bit of work off him.

people get short of cash, work dries up. building industry is first to suffer last to recover. if you're a grafter you'll get by, but tighten your belt!
