Sorry to say, but it's going to get worse as all the international company's that invested in SA are removing there money to take it back onshore as the financial market slides and everyone is moving to a no risk strategy. I can promise, no-one in banking is making money...mates of mine overseas are being asked to take a 20% pay cut in that industry.

Another thing to watch, is now our vehicles become even more attractive to exports so we have to do what we can to keep them here for true VW nuts and not profitters.

The Russians are taking a punishing...
A friend of mine on a yacht 100m from where I am, his boss went from 18 Billion dollars down to 2 bil this year alone. This guy is into Silver
My boss, well it sounds like he has taken an ass kicking too, so who knows, maybe I'll be coming home earlier and for longer than planned

the thing is, with the way the economy is right now, you are able to get some amazing bargains.

the car i'm picking up on thursday is one of them, they retail for around 10 000 (pounds) and what i'm paying is a laugh. he cannot afford his monthly outgoings, so go the toys.
