[Paladin]

More weekday rides!

One way to keep a positive attitude for sure! Its definitely helped havin the DR - being out on it sure helps take some stress away from the job/financial worries. ( Thursday 21st & Friday 22nd May it is then! )

For damn sure! Actually if you think about the range of work backgrounds of us lot, its pretty shocking to think how many of us on this forum are being hit by this recession! If all you do is read the daily papers & listen to TV news, you'd think things weren't too bad, but I reckon its being hidden from everyone to try and keep a positive spin - this thread certainly seems evidence of how bad it is already!

It has provided a random cross section of the community, maybe statisticians should adopt it as a control.

We're sadly lacking input from women workers/adv riders that may have been effected for that control group maybe!

Shame actually - the lack of women adv riders I mean, not that women aren't losin jobs!
