I dunno, come back to the office to angry messages and complaints of undelivered products.

It seems we have been the victims of an online fraud and someone has "borrowed" our Lowi Ltd name and business address, thrown up a website and started taking thousands of pounds worth of payments from unsuspecting European companies.

If we promised you a Massey Ferguson Tractor, I'm afraid you've been duped and we're not into exporting farm machinery and there is no such thing as Lowi Ltd transport services!

So a pretty unproductive afternoon, spent listening to a variety of hold music, from the Police, Action Fraud and Barclays Scam dept.

Right then, just got a job lot of Combine Harvesters if anyone's interested...

lol certainly allowed, and the kids like to work out what things are. To be fair I think it's more of a mix of Latvian, Estonian and Polish looking at some of the labels.

There's definately a lot of media sterotyping, with conjured up images of Romanian gypsy caravans heading West, and worries of floods of unskilled labour pouring into the eurozone.

But some of it I think comes from genuine concern, looking at the sharp rise over the last few years of East European lower skilled workers in some areas, with added pressure on local services. Even our local Tescos and Morrisons has a Polish Isle, and we've got a few East European Neighbours, who seem to operate submarine shifts, going by the number of cars/adults versus bedrooms

According to the beeb, house sales rose 24% in 2013.

So can we leave a doom and gloom 2013 behind us and look forward to a year of positivity?

Or is it odds on for the next housing bubble burst and next recession in 2015?

is that a day/week or month?

Bahh Humbug... Is it Jan 2nd yet?

Why aren't we surprised....
