    Saw an imagine of a family on the rooftop of a 4 story home(?) in Iwache that was completely destroyed. FOUR storeys.

    I saw one image of a coach sat atop what looked like a small block of flats, probably 4 floors up! Quite incredible.

    Sorry to quantify the last post, the comment was from Stephanie Flanders.

    The Japanese are right to worried about the economy obviously as this will have a direct impact upon how they can support everyone affected, however it’s distastful that the money markets will use this as another way to generate income from by exploiting the situation for their own ends, but that’s capitalisum for you. 🙁

    This sounds slighlty cold but hadn’t alot of Japanese companies moved production overseas to the likes of China and even host markets thus lessening the impact on their businesses now?

    I would imagine so due to the cheaper labour costs and reasonable close proximity to China, Taiwan e.t.c

    Isn’t a lot of Shimano made in Malaysia now?

    I don’t get why anyone would say Robert Pestons blog is in bad taste given that his job is to report on bussiness.
