They are fortunate in that they own their house the flat and two shops outright, so at least even though things are bad have no outlay for those. |
Re: how has the life style
I may have posted this before but a friends family owned 2 shoe factories in Elche. When business slumped due to foreign imports they needed to close one factory although they had plenty of work for the other which was more specialised. All the staff had been there for years, they couldn't pay them and had to go bankrupt and close both:(
That is why there are so many short term contracts. |

That is why there are so many short term contracts. If it gets to that stage we will probably give them the money to do it as the money is more use to them now than when we are both dead! |

That is why there are so many short term contracts. The local people rioted and set fire to Chinese premises, but unfortunately someone died and there was a long police investigation. It must have been over ten years ago now. |
