I get paid every month on time. Working with an Arab contractor where I would be paid 2 to 3 weeks late. This is extremely refreshing.

Oh and our project gets paid on time as well.

Every time there is a downturn I hope there is a clear out of the detritus; the blaggers, the wannabes and shallow fakers. With luck a few more of those will go.

So your happy with people losing their jobs, homes, income. In a foreign country with no family to support them. Some with massive debts on flats and cars (which they could of signed in good faith)

People choose to get into debt, it's called not living within your means.

with most of our business being to Nigeria it is very tough times. guess we have lost about 40pct of our Dubai staff. It's impossible to get Forex down there now so very difficult to import anything.

still safe in my position though.
