We all know these are challenging times, out with the back seat whingers.

Remember the eighties ????
Yes ?
We got through those and we WILL get through this !!!!

Not really that we were doomed anyway. He also said that this Govt is the worst he has seen in his 35 years in politics. He might be right. I agree that we need to focus on the positive/future, but we need leadership too and unfortunately the current lot are not giving us any. We are all masters of our own destiny, but we operate is a big world. We need the peopple who are in charge of the country to enable us to improve. Just like a team will shelter their leader from the wind and the peleton until he is produced to win the stage in the final 100m, the setting up of the race is the same as the setting up of the economic background. We need to be assisted, not hindered. Anyway, glad to see that bike sales are still holding up!
