Steve, are you suffering because of the changes around Aldgate?

Sounds like a 'mare down there at the mo

Yep it is a mare there, our driver avoids it rather than dealing with the traffic. But being a local he knows a fair few cut through routes.

That'll be doing the whole of Leman Street the wrong way then!!

just missed that thankfully.

although for anyone heading into the city, lower thames street is totally closed due to what looks like a very nasty accident involving a cyclist.

When the driver returns he needs to go into the city. oh well best send him out with a diversion in mind.

Yup, Aldgate was a mare. Central line was up the swanny so decided to drive in.

That was one hell of a big mistake!

It took 2 hours to drive 7 miles. Reminds me a bit of the Prodrive test track a couple of weeks ago......

Driving home should be interesting.

Have just been texted by a mate who said that for tomorrow only, Shell are selling V Power at the same price as 95. Don't know if this is true or not, but go to be worth a go.

I have just walked passed Aldgate and its still manic!

morgan stanley?

spally

iTrader: (1)

think he is referring to lehmans..

V4JDMSTi

iTrader: (2)

yup lehmans.

although have heard the usual rumours that always fly around after things like this, mentioning a fair few of the other major investment banks / financial institutions going the same way.

spally

iTrader: (1)

hell yeah, even though i work in this sort of enviroment still leaves me in disbelief at how big these companies are that are hitting the rocks!!!

V4JDMSTi

iTrader: (2)

yup. with some of them we're talking trillions of $ of investments that will be lost. but everyone knows that there's a heck of a risk involved with investments so has to be expected every now and then. the trouble is, everyone is now holding onto their money. all this does is stall the economy even further imo. but i can also understand why they're hanging onto it. i book all the incoming money at work for payment of our bills, court awards etc and i've not see 1p for the last couple of days. even up to last week we were getting around $1m in each day.

unfortunately 1 word sums up the mess that these investment houses are in at the mo "greed".

and yes unfortunately the knock on effect is the economy and then households, next thing you know more than just a few investmen houses are knackered!!!

nail on the head mate. it's a shame that their greed will effect everyone else.
