usually during a recession, council contracts get bigger as the government tries to balance the lack of private sector work with bigger public spending...

Never seems to work though!

 

No chance of that working here, all tree work is done by one large contractor (well 2 actually one on parks the other on streeets) and WTF they actually do baffles me! The amount of standing dead trees is unreal, the only guys I see cutting are the grass lads who hack a few branches off now and then to stop them getting wacked in the face while on there mower

lets not forget the people who rushed out and bought houses because they believed what the estate agents were telling them about the house prices going up.....thus making the prices go up......this hasn't helped anyone.

I can see a few fingers getting burned in the "Buy to let" market too, lets face it, they have also contributed to the escalation in prices.

Car Tax - Everything the UK government does today is to raise money,the whole thing's a racket.

 

How can a Ford Galaxy be bad for the environment?! You can get 6 kids in it to take to the football, you'd need two cars otherwise, the fact is....the government wants us all to drive Micras and Aygos!

 

rant over.

its all down to greed as usual, the banks, the estate agents, the government are all to blame. the press arent helping either with the continual scare mongering. then they put up car tax? they are making a killing on the fuel going up as they get a % as opposed to a fixed amout on the tax on fuel. i think is around 50%. so were is all this money going? how can they justify it? we are ruled by the eu now anyhow and wasnt a referendum. w***ers.
