foxbolter 447 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Money can't bring you happiness but if you haven't got it you may become very unhappy. And always remember work to live never live to work. 9 Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,102 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Without sounding conceted and probably due to my location ,what recession .From what I've seen ,some were talked into a dip in spending but there has never been what I'd call a recession tbh .Only speak from personal experience mind and no reflection on anyone else . 1 Quote Link to post
leethedog 3,071 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Didn't realy affect me in south East England but I do know you Irish lads had it real bad I've been on big government contracts and the Irish contractors said how bad it was back home rough times Quote Link to post
Treehands. 1,379 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Depends if you rely on others such as industry for work. Roofing has served me well all my life. though I do have a self imposed resession for three months in the winter. 3 Quote Link to post
