With the reported traffic figures being up I still don't feel that they adequately compensate the rising operating costs one of which is the 'evil mistress' oil. Will these traffic figures hold up I doubt it very much let alone rise any further. Which ever way we look at it we are in for a bumpy ride though the only viable question remaining is how bad and for how long. That's where this speculative thread comes in with it's array of doom merchants, crystal ball reading madam Zelgas and happy-go-lucky brigade who think nothing can possibly go wrong.
