the two Rs

Redundancy and recession are the daily headlines in the city. Obviously the global economy isn't too hot but London/the UK are apparently going to suffer the worst of it. As London relies so heavily on the finance district and there is not as much financial regulation as you even see back home, it's equalled some very impressive bailouts and more impressive job and monetary losses.

It does not make for pleasant conversation or environment when most of my tube rides home consist of one person saying they got made redundant that day. There are days I wish L2 and I had come about three years earlier. The boom would have been better for us and sending money home at more than double the currency would have set us up when we returned to the native land.

Instead – we're keeping things minimal and crossing our fingers about what happens next!
