it'll have to be used because we'll have all been priced off the motorways by then and it'll cost more to drive to london on the M1 than it will to go on this train. the climate change brigade will have got their way with cars even tho' the weather will be no different to what it is now.
We spend FAR less on travel, both in the UK and internationally, today than we did 20 years ago. The reason? Use of technology. We're a small company but we regularly run seminars with a worldwide audience of 30 or so, where no-one has to leave their own office. No idea why anyone would want to travel to London for a meeting when they could do it online.
Fekin climate change. Blaming motorist and making less well off freeze while the bustards are cutting rainforests at alarming rates to fill their greedy fat faces.
But can you touch base while you strategise the multi disciplinary positioning while stretching the envelope to ensure your cost centres targets are principle centred in a high priority all handed meeting about monetizing key player clients in a low risk high yield scenario through Skype?
thats right marlon.. they are even growing trees to cut down to burn in power stations,on land that should be used to grow food.you couldnt make it up.
Good work. I bet you were one of the einsteins banging on about the "climate change brigade" and how the "global warming conspiracy" had been comprehensively disproved because we had a couple of days of snow last week. Weather's not the same as climate.
I can. It's actually a lot easier, because they can't see you smirking and you don't have to wear any trousers.
no i wasnt,i'm just one of those that doesnt believe this 'climate change' is man made to be used as a tool to get more money out of joe public.if you believe them thats your choice.
I've been doing all that for 30 years. I can now do it just by making small eye movements while sleeping.
On a daily basis I work with teams in Poland, India and around the UK (Inverness/Nairn, Cardiff and Birmingham typically). Less often with people in Canada and Brazil (and in theory another 40 countries are possible). I have only met one of these people based overseas (he worked over here for a few months) and I am unlikely to meet any of the others. This does not stop us working together. We have email, communicator, conference calls and video conference. The chances are we will never have a need to all be together in the same room.
It is not for meetings it is to turn the North into one big sub-urban housing estate for the South with workers for those that work in teh South pushed to the fringes as house prices will rise to reflect the increase in demand.
Agreed Complete waste of money, will rip up huge areas of our dwindling green land and won't bridge the north/south economic divide, it will just encourage more people to commute to London from much further away. Madness.
North south divide my ar$e. Biggest PR stunt in history. It's actually widening the gap. What they actually mean is they need another way of developing London and getting someone else to pay for it. Now the Olympics is out of the way, whats next? For a change. People will move north to commute and cash in on 'relatively low' house prices. Regional prices will rocket, putting even greater pressure on local people. In the meantime, local environment and communities will be hammered for the next 20 years while its being built. This is Cameron's Britain chaps..it's called That London BOYCOTT LONDON, AND EVERY TEAM WHO PLAY THERE!!!
IMHO I think it is a job making excercise that the goverment can get away with. Correct me if I'm wrong but in the EU Goverments can't subsidise industry directly, a capital project is the way to do it. Having said that the rail and trains work will probably go to German and French companies. We'll end up with the muckshift, bridges, tunnels and legal stuff. The legals will probably double the cost.
You all do know the high speed rail network doesn't terminate in London don't you? It carries on to this far and distance place called 'abroad', you might have heard about it on the magical moving picture box in the corner of your parlour.
