Keeneland: Very true. But as i said i don't want to see anyone have their pay cut. Especially just before Xmas but sometimes there is just no other option. We are all going to get screwed in the budget mate so 2010 is going to be a hard year for most of us. Back to the bad days of the 70's and 80's. I just hope the government and the Unions dont make it any worse than it has to be.


Really surprised the bankers were not mentioned here!!!

I think its gona get bad before it gets worse!!!

Yeah rents down. That can only be good news except if your a landlord. But landlords, like so many other business's ( pubs, restaurants to name few ) had it great in the boom but now having to lower there prices or go out of business.

So it's fine and dandy for landlords to lose out. And you can add to that workers in banks, shops, pubs, taxis, cafes, printers, factories, farmers, supermarkets, builders and just about every other sector of the nation to do this and to cut their costs and lose money and wages yet State sector workers seem to feel they are immune to it.

Can you explain to us all why this is unfair to you but it's fair for the rest of the country?

I seen that Jonathon. My lease is up in Dec and i have to move so i would love to see these cheaper places. Rents were i live are as dear as they were 12 months ago. I don't want to move further afield but ill probably have to.
