The message

What a stupid f***ing question. To suggest that what is happening
is media hype is ignorance in the extreme. Try telling the tens of
thousands of building trade workers who have been laid off in the last
few months that it's media hype. We are in a recession, there is worse
to come and no-one, even the original poster, will be immune.


Well, I own a roofing company, and - if you class installing copper ridge
on roofs as "building trade" - then, we're busier than ever.
Possibly because people are "extending" rather than moving house,
and want the older roof to look the same as the newer part...


I just wish we could get some better weather. The past "summer" was
not kind to us.


I would have thought that roofs would have sold like hot cakes...

D&RF - er - Roof.
