John, a couple of my friends who run their own business are finding it a bit of a struggle at the moment too.

I have certainly noticed a big down turn in my area of work, and one sure sign, is the distinct lack of adverts for design related jobs, and I keep reading the big agencies in London are cutting staff all the time...

Yes, I think something is brewing, batten down the hatches and sit tight!

A friend of mine with an airline related business is in particular, noticing a BIG change in his work.
