Rabbie Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 The rich seem to be recession-proof -still plenty of large bonuses being collected by those who may or may not deserve them. It's the poor who seem to be hardest hit especially those who have been made redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 The sales of luxury multi-million pound yachts, the floating gin palace types that the French call yottes without a sail to be seen, have exploded, up 30% in the last year.The top end of pretty much every market is the least affected by recession.

just john Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 [quote user="cooperlola"]What recession?[/quote]According to Marcel Massini, the « long » California was re-sold in 1965 by the same garage Montchoisy to Georges Lang, a shipper from Annecy. The car was registered in the Haute-Savoie department, 10 FY 74, and was repainted Bordeaux red. In 1967, Lang acquired a Lamborghini Miura from the Atomic Garage in Lyon, trading in the California at the same time. A friend of the vendor remembers seeing the car for sale for 7,000 F, and later in 1973 in a neighbouring garage in Pont-de-la-Caille, on the road from Annecy to Geneva.What was 7,000 F worth in 1967, about the cost of a new MGB?[:-))][:'(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Théière Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yep you all believed the headlines whilst the rich played you like a chess game. A great way of frightening people into doing 50% extra just to keep their jobs! That's what happens when you take up arms against the unions who represent you.Tin hat on and waiting in my dug out [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just john Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'd be jumping in the dugout with you, I celebrate that there is no recession for some wealth makers rather than everyone making Lada's in some foreign field for my bread and potato soup.[:P] Good ole' capitalism eh![6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
