You will never see another housing boom (and that's what caused tilers, and plenty of them, to earn a lot, along with other trades) like this, ever.
I don't think we'll ever see the same as we did in 2007, ever.
2 years? Nah, 2 years for them to sort out a plan. I think my grandchildren will still be paying our debt off so the bankers grandchildren can live happily.
5% of the population run 95% of the money in the world. That's just got harder to gain back for us 95% that have to really struggle to live.
A good read for those interested in how the world really works:-

every time this world has faced a crisis, somewhere along the line the balance is addressed and its no different than now....we will pull through this because we HAVE TOO there is no choice...i am not going to hang around for things to change. its up to us to change it because the people are the economy and if we fight and get back that pride,and determination and quality that once made the uk the greatest empire in the world!! then we can do it again because we've done it before..
less will become the new more!!
maybe there will be less work an less money but maybe we wont need as much and maybe we'll have time again for the things that really matter in the world and the things that make the quality of our lives even better...makes ya think doesnt it?

That is the best posting I’ve read in a long while – excellent words.
I worked for years earning high and sitting in Heathrow at 6am driving spreadsheets. Now I build houses and tile and spend more time with my family and get the greatest of pleasure from a simple coffee by the beach alongside my motorbike. Financially smarter? ... no way! ... smarter – absolutely! Happier – yes.
Aston – that was perfect – so I’ll cut and paste repeat it.

thanks for the kind words stan,
i say/write how i feel....you go through life and learn hard lessons. everybody on here will have some experience of that....i used to get down and worry because its natural, we all do but things happens, things change and they can make you or they can break you, i'd like to think they have made me a better person.
the only thing in life that worries me, is anything happening to my wife and kids because they are my life if you like...money is easy come, easy go. sometimes your up, sometimes your down but family, health, a bit of faith to get you through the impossible situations ? and a good tile cutter lol can take you a long long way.....:lol:
anyway, we'll worry about the future when it gets here hey mate today is all we need to get through. you can make all the plans in the world but make them elastic, not set in stone, ironic on a tile forum.............
best regards
