Something for the Eurozone to think about? There is a world currency, it's called GOLD but no one wishes to use it. You can't debase Gold in the same way that you can with your currencies.

You sure about that Nick? As far as the UK is concerned...... .....WHAT GOLD? |

Yep, & the end of the article is very apt! "It was a lesson which could have acted to restrain all players in the credit market boom of the 2000s. It was a lesson which nobody learnt." I've said it before & I'll say it again..... "Show me an honest, truthful & trusted politician & I'll show you a liar!" |

LOL, I was hammered not to long ago here for saying the same thing--What gold? I also see that no one has gone after the unions and austerity measures. We will see a domino effect. 10 states with a huge problem, bigger then alot of Countries. Must not conflict resolve by suggesting that someone should go sit on an ice pick... |

Still a fly in the ointment.... UK challenges new EU demand for 2013 budget cash "MEPs back the Commission in saying the extra - called an amending budget - must be paid to cover the 2012 bills." Of course these rats are going to agree - they still want their £200 attendance allowance even on a Friday when there is no EU business to discuss. |

"MEPs back the Commission in saying the extra - called an amending budget - must be paid to cover the 2012 bills." I wonder if my company's accounts department will permit me to have an ex-gratia top-up to my salary for this year. On the pretence that I have over spent and so can't meet all my financial commitments to year end. "Foreign Office", they would say to me. And if one knows Nick then one knows what Foreign Office in this pretext stands for. In'it good a? we pay the ECM for the privilege of importing more from them than we manage to export to them. As we all know, if we left the ECM then nothing regarding imports/exports to Europe would change one iota. The question is then why do we remain a member? Foreign Office....hint!! 'F' is the significant letter from this word. I now suspect that you can work out those significant letters from the other word.

We don't pay The EU for anything, there is what is called a Trade gap. What's the £50 million a day for? The trade gap, will start to deteriorate again now that the value of the Euro is dropping down against the Pound. The ECM, ERM, EMS, call it what you like we all know what one another are referring too. Still, Chris, you have not stated what would change financially between us and Europe if we were to leave this joint venture. Naturally we would save ourselves over £50 million, actually a hell of a lot more as there are many hidden costs to our industries that we pay just to adopt many Brussels regulation. Costs that our competitors outside Europe do not have to face yet are still free to trade with Europe ad-hock.

Now now Taffy, after some excellent posts these past few days, reverting back to your "politico speak" dosen't become you. When the news is good, I post it to offset the bad. However, our continuing bumbling within the Eurozone will just continue to create bad news with the muppets driving the country..... ...slowly but seurely, driving it off the cliff. Unfortunately for those T**t's I'm not a lemming, so will continue to ridicule them until they wake up & see that the citizens of their country have had enough! By the way, did you hear the serious broadcast on Radio Cymru this morning? It was the Welsh Assembly announcing that they would like all Welshmen to return home as there is an extreme shortage...... |

We've taken your money & grown fat off the proceeds..... Thought so....... Luxemberg warns of investor flight from Europe "In Luxembourg, leaders are warning that applying the Cypriot bailout model -- a levy on bank deposits -- to other crisis-plagued countries could lead to a flight of investors from Europe. But the EU is considering the option anyway." I'm going to get roasted for this, but I'm sticking to my guns...... "I was a good soldier," says Heinz Otto Fausten, which seems like the beginning of a sentence that can't possibly turn out well. But then he says: "I see today that because of that, I was merely a good tool for an unbelievably criminal regime." Make no mistake, this is where the European Commission will eventually take us!

The German ZDF mini-series "Unsere Mutter, Unsere Vater" (Our Mothers, Our Fathers)shows how the war affected the other side. Just wondering if any nation in the EU will broadcast it on their channels! |

That is not true. If the US wants to sell anything in Europe we have to adopt those ISO 9000 rules. That's only one James, although quite comprehensive, but there are many regulations that are only applicable within Europe.

Actually ISO 9000 is not a mandatory requirement for selling into Europe, in that it is not enshrined as such in legislation. It may be a contractual requirement, in that the purchaser imposes it as a condition of sale. There are however a number of mandatory requirements, such as the EMC Directive, where it is illegal to sell manufactured items into the European market that are listed in the regulation that do not comply with that regulation. Some of these regulations are quite sensible, others are frankly "barking". Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

The fuse is burning fast & bright......... Savers now facing a potential 60% deduction "President of Cyprus says there is 'no intention' of leaving the eurozone" Those words Mr President will come back & bite your ass! You hit your citizens that hard & we'll see how long you remain in power as well as Cyprus remaining in the pig sty known as the Euro. |

ISO9000 is a total toss It is only concerned with paperwork (in my experience) not the quality of the product. Your products may be total crap, but as long as the paper trail says they are total crap, you still get the ISO9000 certification. I have been with companies seeking this certification and when the "inspectors" came around, all they were interested in was the written procedures, work instructions etc. Not once did they go out and look at the workshop or factory floor. In one case they only went to "head office" which was an administration centre only. T.A. |

ISO9000 is a total toss Ive been employed for two companys who went through the process. And both times they were on the shop floor. The last time is where I work now. And we are do for recertifacation this year. But I agree they look at paper work. [/quote] Old James |

No chance of the fuse being extinguished just yet......... It's ROBBERY! Couple of statements that says it all..... "For a currency that promised to provide a sure bet on a glorious future, the euro is turning into the biggest theft of people’s savings in Western Europe since the war." "But all this human sacrifice in the eurozone – austerity, mass unemployment, arbitrary bank account levies – is about saving the euro. You wonder how much pain there has to be before someone realises that what must be sacrificed is the euro itself." Europe sleepwalked into WWII..... ...Will we see worse? |

ISO9000 is a total toss Thanks Terror, clearly you know what many others involved in Quality Assurance state regarding ISO90000. My brother for one, he spent many years cutting his teeth in QA and the words you used are virtually the ones he used in telling me this donky's years ago.

Value made on the whicp of the Internet, and a bit like the Casino Bank packages that nearly killed the Financial system in 2007/2008 ... It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |
