EU migration numbers are down.

This will cheer you up. (unless you are French)

Bin the cat and then you've got a decision made: stay.

Really?

Guess those smart Europeans don't want to board a sinking ship then.

I'd rather dump the family, take the pets and go live in the flat we can't get a respectable offer on.

What a strike that was.

Ah well, time will tell, not these leagues of armchair economists with amazing insight into the future.

Let's hope it ends up successful for everyone. If the UK is booming that would be fantastic.

It's not. Everywhere else in the world might be, but the UK has got very low growth right now. As alluded to above, it may be that jobs are coming free because EU nationals are leaving.

Of course it's not.
I just can't be arsed to argue with DXBtoDOH in every thread.

OK, sorry. You carry on...

Had to explain to Ollie that come Friday, following your advice, he might be off to Dr Zim to be put down. His life may have been short but it was fun. He looked at me with those heart melting bug eyes and agreed.

I'm more like to be going the other way... invest in the EU and get my golden visa.

Better than starving to death or being hit by a driver after being dumped along 611. Which is what happens to 99% of the abandoned dogs.

I can talk and banter about many things but I draw the line at animal welfare.

my company globally made huge cuts over the last 12-18 months (including getting rid of people, and in some instances liquidating companies that were making significant losses with no or very little scope to turn them around) .....now almost every subsidiary within the parent company is down to the bare bones, in terms of manpower.
There was a complete hold on capex expenditure during 2017 and now in 2018 - unless the capex was needed to brought exclusively for a long term project/contract.
Our budgets for 2018 are nowhere near the growth that we were expected to achieve in past years.
But Alhumdulillaah, we've secured a fairly big contract with a company in Abu Dhabi and so that will keep us going, with smaller contracts in other regions.

when you say globally, do you mean across the region or actually globally? I ask as globally things are better than regionally.
