Its very worrying worldwide if anything happens to the Big 3. I cant profess to know about the US economy but the auto industry is a major player in so many peoples lives worldwide. My company makes crankshafts for many auto companies worldwide including the US and it looks like my company will layoff the guys for the whole of December (without pay). Many UK and German car plants are also off for the whole of December. If I sit here and ponder it I could get very depressed about the future, fortunatly I am a bit of a fatalist, if it happens it happens, nothing I can do about so why worry about it.<br /><br />Jackie - hope your tax exam went well. In the Avatar I am on the right with the moustache, its my 18 year old son Aaron at the front. There are some more pictures of all of us in the forum photo album area if your interested.<br /><br />Am just settling down to watch Germany play England in a soccer match, half the England team is injured so dont hold out much hope for them.<br /><br /><br /><br />See you all soon
