Recession

[Nippy Sweetie]

Remember this Gerry? It was the original post;

 

Has anyone actually been affect by the recession of downturn in trade?

 

The shops seem full of people. Not just the 'essential' food shops but the 'non essential' such as the Graden Centres, Clothing stores, Bedding stores etc

 

The only place I have seen 'rather empty', was a Travel Agent I went into yesterday to get a brochure, 'BUT', it was one of the run of the mill High Street TA's and not the specialist/private type I use.

 

Recession? Point it out to me :-)

Returning to the topic, BayTrading announced 1,230 jobs going with 125 outlets closing. Also M/S profits down by almost a third. Lloyds also cutting 625 jobs across the U K.

Nippy, please don't take offence, I did add a smiley to try and show that I was just jesting and letting you know that we have a member that thinks they are an admin.

 

Cheers

Sorry if I went off topic a little I was just answering the questions asked, I apologise.

 

Can this not turn into another Gerry vs stopgo topic please.

 

To stay on topic a little does anyone think cruisers will opt for more traditional holidays to save money? and in turn will this mean the cruise lines will have to give further discounts.

I once stayed in a 3* jersey hotel about 5 years ago and paid £500pp for a week,

I can have a 7n cruise on OCEANA in August inside cabin for £499 - leaflet offer sent to me this week -

so no!;)

[lostinvegas]

Wow thats a good deal. I guess I was refuring more to package deals but then again you would be hard pressed to go full board for a week for less than £499.00
