i guess it's because they've come to realise we are all in this mess,and it's going to take years to come out of,and we all have to stick together to get through these horrible circumstances.

The horrors of negative equity. I feel tapped.

We also have no electricity in our village at all.

We only have 230V now, we used to have 240V but had to downsize it.

Surely you could find some under-utilized minority person to come in for an hour a day and turn the treadmill by hand for him? Won't somebody think of the doggies?

Ohm my god, that's heartbreaking.

That's appalling. Shows the true ravages of this recession.

I've been a student for years, so pretty much have been in recession since 2004.

It's a shame this, a mate of mine closed his shop during the week after a 2 month period where his sales totaled 205euro, looks like the CD is on its way out.

These are harsh times

I'm doing alright, have a job, paying my way. I've got mates, who in the boom time, were doing really well, making big money. Not so much now.

You getting on ok?
