Just a few thoughts on things !! I was thinking about the current economic crises, it really is cyclical, I have looked at the history, thats how it is, however a few observations , We /you in Europe have loaded up the stakes against you, the cost of buisness is ridiculous. all the red tape and the cost of liability, Why I am thinking this way is that I went to a local Thai shop to buy my pork for my Bacon Curing and other pork recipes, The lady Thai said can you wait a few minutes , my husband is just "dispatching " the pig!! Out comes the meat ,still warm, few flies about, so what, I have purchased meat from here for months without any problems,
Years ago one of the Twins at Inskip Ted and Dick said about the health in modern (then 1962) kids was down to over protection, "them" Avenham Lane kids in Preston living in poor conditions ,picking up dropped toffees of the street floor gave them bugs which he reckoned helped them, he was way ahead of todays boffins, (I am one of those Avenham Lane Kids)

Dick at 87 is still mending cars at Inskip,

so I reckon we will never compete, yes I know all about safety, etc, but the cost of all this Red Tape/cost of buisness is crippling,
If I rented the factory that I owned the rent would be 100,000 GBP per year
the rates would be 45,000 GBP payable
the insurance would be 25,000 GBP
thats over 3 grand a week before you open the front door,


How the F""k can you compete with costs like that, the answer is you can,t as many are going to find out soon,
