Massive rises in utility costs here, vat went up to 23%. Resturants have had a vat hike from 12% to 23%. They are closing everywhere.

I just did some steelwork for a company who has a contract with the new Conrad Hilton 6 star hotel here and the builders are bankrupt !!

Not going to race on sunday now, gutted. The cost plus the dry and heat (35) has killed it.

Going to the beach with a cool box instead.

I added the entry fee, the fuel for the bike cos its 5 mins down the road and the tyres cos they will be shredded.

Then the dust and the heat.........the beach is getting busy and the thong is I like it there with my mirror shades on.
