Does make me wonder, know way it can be automated, otherwise we would be swamped, so think the defences are working ok against the script kiddies.

I genuinely think there are some really dumb IM'ers out there. Plus they will assume they can dump links, including in places that we missed until recently, like forum profiles (till you flagged it ).

“150 years ? I think more like 15”

Well if it is, then reserve me a place in the bunker
Xmas - to close or not to close? 22nd December 2011 1:56 PM
So as business owners, are you shutting up shop for a well deserved break between Xmas and the New year, or is it business as usual on the 28th December?

“I reckon that the EU will go for more integration and eventually will become United States of Europe.”

With the amount of squabbling and cultural diversity, plus natural animosity (think Cyprus, Greece & Turkey), I reckon we're about 150 years away from that

The EU is the EU, with or without the UK.

There's a lot of politics and sabre rattling on both sides. Talk of Britain standing alone again like 1940 doesn't really help, and European harmony is a farce, with individual Euro members breaking all their own financial rules.

I think the single currency was a mistake, and glad we never got embroiled in it, but it does makes trading with Europe hard work, and the reality is, it's a bigger market and of more benefit to us, than we are to the rest of Europe.

We need to be a key player with in the EU, but I think Cameron was right differentiate between Euro and financial decisions which affect Euro members, and decisions which affect EU members.

Will the EU lead to a superstate as some people want, I doubt it, or at least in my lifetime.

But as a trading partner, I think it's better to be in the club than outside on our jack jones.

Peter, are you having a conversation with yourself?

No one else has given any input since October!

“I don't think it is a good time”

Why not? Surely depends on the business.

Cut price, discount shops, recruitment, pawn shops, etc..

boom or bust, there are always businesses that will flourish.

Welcome to the Forums London.

Pretty controversial post for a new member. Why not take 5 mins and do an intro and tell us a little about yourself and your business.

Euro wise, I've always considered myself British and English, but never European

To me, a semi European Union as a trading partnership makes a lot of sense, and overall I think its good for this country, especially manufacturing. But single currency and financial control via European committee, not on your nelly!
If you invented a teleporter 22nd December 2011 9:35 AM
“If you invented a teleporter what would be your first order from an online company.”

If I invented a teleporter, I'd go back and invest in a couple of fledgling companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook
