if your scouse with irish roots and have got jet black hair, and you look like brutus from popeye after one day of not shaving then yes it does make you look older, but it certainly dont if you got a face like homers, hes got that light smooth skinned look, a bit of bum fluff makes no difference whatsoever, in fact its a hinderance to his appearance and attraction to hoes imho.
majority of women love a silky clean shaved face in my experience.

I wet shave twice a year maybe as a clean shaven face makes me look about 10.

Honestly speaking UK is in deep shit.
Apart from the usual suspects Spain and Greece (+ Ireland), UK's recovery from the downturn is going to be more painful than other established EU members.
With nearly 80% of the entire GDP coming from services, UK banks still struggling (bar a few such as Barclays) I personally do not see where recovery is going to come from. For sure it's not going to be the manufacturing (UK is not competitive on labour costs)!
We are going to have to reinvent ourself as a nation and offer "something" that our Indian and Chinese friends can not. What "that" is, I have no idea, but we are going to have to "offer" it if we want to maintain our living standards.
My 2 pence.

Some things you can not outsource, no matter how hard you try. That is going to keep UK going for a while… Big issue is that this outsourcing hits the young grads much harder than it does seasoned pros. Could end up being a problem further down the line…

Where the fuck was i cheering, cunt.
Cadburys was in the shit. They would have had to downsource in due course which means job cuts, on what scale nobody knows. Shareholders, while obviously wanting the best return for themselves also wanted to minimise job cuts.
Kraft will of course 'streamline' the company but will probably do so on a scale less than if Cadbury rejected the buyout. Therefore its was the duty of Cadbury's board to get the best price it could.
Use a bit of common sense, you yourself have said this country is falling way behind many others so whose fault is that?
Re the pit closures, couldn't comment as dont know enough behind that

All of the majority shareholders (top ten) in Cadbury were hedge funds and most also had interests in Kraft, so it makes the deal pretty obvious.
