yes and as I said Italy and Spain bought into the Euro, their economies were too weak to match the other EU countries so that had to pay money to get into it. For me this obliterates of object of the Euro but then money is money.
Yes the UK is in trouble on all fronts, the country is in debt and people are irresponsible and won't even look out for themselves. Yes you can blame banks for giving people loans who could not pay them back but for christs sake anyone should be clever enough to figure out how much debt they can afford. Really I think that it is safe to say that the average Italian is far more savvy about life than the dipstick UK population.

What makes it even worse is manufacturing seems to be non existent all I am seeing is jobs in call center environments its now more service based economy

The problem is that manufacturing is virtually non existent and most of the UK is service based but then plenty of british companies (That probably are not british anyway) use indian call centres. The strength of a countries truly lies in it's manufacturing power. If europe and the rest of the world stopped trading with the UK how long would we survive ? I work for an engineering/manufacturing company and in reality we make very little and spend a lot of time modifying and correcting chinese, UAE and romanian junk we buy in cheaply, we have no control over quality (and I know that as I'm the one and only goods in QC inspector) and even if stuff is faulty with a 3 month manufacturing lead time and another 3 months in transit you won't exactly ask for a replacement if you can hash it for a customer that wanted it last month. It is sad to say that we are still in business only because we do military contracts because our commercial lines are only just picking up after a year.
I had also some experiences with Help desks located in India ... Norton Symantec and even from APC ( UPS systems) ..
I could hardly understand in the phone their English accent ..
The biggest mistake than all , are that we gave all our power to the stock market ..
You get help from people that are unable to help , just because some stock holders needs to see large numbers as return of the investment .. simple as that.
Any wise company , must move away from the stock market as fast as possible.
so what do we make of this?
so what do we make of this?
We keep the stock holders happy , because they had lower cost ... and you are just an number to them.
Thats why I ring the alarm to all , to become citizens again.
I am against globalism .. I have not see any emigrant to be far from his home , and be happy.
Did you ask the people of India , if they are happy too, just because some one takes advantage of them temporally ...
If they are smart to become engineers , how they are so silly to believe that this "advantage" that they have, like to be payed with less , will last for ever , and offer them prosperity and what they are seeking as happiness ??
The Greeks was get paying with 700 - 800 EUR as minimum , and was hopping that some day they will get 1.200 like the Italians do , or 1500-2000 like the Germans do..
And the earth turned upside down , and now they get even less .
Every family in Greece lost their financial control ... and are unable to handle the monthly expenses ,
like food - electric Bills - Bank doses - cost of life - fuels ..
With an tremendous effort I am staying calm .. my future got stolen ... and I am one hard worker like every one else.
Yes all we are are numbers, my question is how come Turkey is not struggling and greece is? I heard Turkey at least has a strong manufacturing base there
Basically, the corporations -- and shareholders -- profit immensely and the consumers get a small price break at the expense of a weak domestic economy and high unemployment rates. I may be biased, but I really think that the fancy, over-paid MBA's are foolishly selling out the Western world and brutally exploiting engineers, scientists, and skilled tradesmen. JMHO.
