What is worrying though - will the hookers put up their prices to reflect their increased costs, or do you think they will... er, suck it up?

They'll take it on the chin ...........

Maybe more than a plan (of which I also thought would never see the light of day!)

A friend at the National had the circular email about a month ago - move to Abu Dhabi or lose your accomodation allowance next year....

Looks very real.

This has been in the air for a while. I turned down a job as Technology Reporter when they said I'd have to be based in AD... you know... despite almost the entire IT sector being based in Internet City and DSO.

All money, no brains.

Their head's have been in the sand for centuries. A thousand odd years of ignorance is unlikely to change any time sone....

Adjacent to the picture of the SubCon labourers, there is a article with the headline " Abu Dhabi named one of the world's 'cities of opportunities' ".
