Eurozone debt web: Who owes what to whom?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15748696
It’s interactive so have a ‘fun’ weekend.:eek:
I think I shall go and do some basic arithmetic after work tomorrow after looking at the absolute mire the developed world is in.
God help the youngsters who don’t seem to have a ‘scoobie’ and are ‘night clubbing’ every night and wasting their time, their employers and more importantly customer’s time doing the jobs they do hold in the hungover mode they are usually in.

I am with Tornado here – there is nothing wrong with young people, and the ones I work with certainly are not out clubbing every night.
They wouldn’t last very long if they were, although they do like a night out at the weekend. And why shouldn’t they?
It is pointless them saving for a home. With houses costing twice round here what they do in Tornado’s part of the world, they are never going to be able to afford to buy a home unless they take equity out of their parent’s property. There ability to save is hampered by having student loans to pay off as well.

just recently where i work i have been given a 20 yr old team mate to work with
he is in a very responsible job and yes he does go clubing
but he is very mature very responsible and an excellent worker that can be trusted to get on with the job
thiey’re not all the same
nothing but sheer greed has put us where we are now selling off and squandering what previous generations had worked bloody hard for
personaly i feel the poorer countries that we are still too blind to realise are the new world leaders are going to be there and we are still too blind to stop buying ( not that you can buy british anymore anyway )
i reccon we should take payment in olives off greece , parmesan off italy ( wine prefrably ) and pay ours off in real ale ..
everyone would be happier
houses £125,000 for a 2 bed terraced house , i think i have worked out the problem on that they’re £90,000 overpriced

Blimey,
Some people dont half talk some BS on here.
Blame everybody but the real people to blame and that is the banks and the politicians who made all the wrong decisions when things were going good. Wake up and smell the coffee.
ppp I am over 30 am I to blame?
I dont think so I go out to work every single day when I have a job. Currently unemployed because as a small business my boss could get no help from said banks or government to help out his small business which led to him closing the branch.
And when I was 18-21 I used to go to a club 3 and 4 nights a week. Thursday to Sunday and worked every day without missing a beat. When your younger you can go on less sleep anyhow.
Who is really to blame?

Blimey! Talk about miserable.
Let the youngsters have their fun.
I certainly did when I was their age.

Most clubs are open on Friday and Saturday. Any bars/clubs open on other days tend to close by about 2AM, not 4 or 5AM. As for getting on the property ladder with the money from clubbing? I think it is you whom needs to wakey wakey.
I have no problem with people over 30 having jobs and pensions, so long as they don’t get their jobs and pensions by living on debt and false economics at the expense of the “lazy under 25s”.

What is the problem with people due at work in the morning clubbing?
What is the problem with people due at work in the morning clubbing?:diablo:
If one is out until 4/5 am and then come in to work at 9 am do you consider one can give of your best to your employer or your customer?
I hardly think so.
Also by clubbing every night what have you done apart from squander your money which if saved may help you get on the home owner market, pay for education/training to get a better job or saving up to start a small business.
If clubbing is all youth live for then why not give up the job and let an older person have it that isn’t likely to come in to work hungover or dog tired.
If unemployed it is taking the ‘p.ss’ if the money the state gives a person is used to squander in the nightclubs, then litter the streets and cause havoc for law enforcement agencies and A&E departments.
Maybe the youth of today need everything on a plate even to think original and innovate.
Did our ancestors have guide books and television to produce and innovate some of the things they did produce?
Well there is an economic war on in the world and it’s time the youth of today recognised that it is their future that is on the line.:eek:
Wakey wakey time under 25s
I have nothing against young people having a sensible night out at a nightclub if they aren’t at work the next day and do not provide extra work for the council street cleaning authorities, law enforcement agencies and A&E departments.
Anything in moderation is acceptable.

What is the problem with them clubbing? Should they be denied all forms of entertainment and pleasure then? It’s not their fault the economy is screwed up, it’s those aged 30 and up who are primarily to blame.
