observer Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Sunday - a day of rest? Not any more - Town was chocker today - with loads of folk praying in the temples of consumerism - so what was all that about a credit crunch and recession?

Dizzy Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Run upto Christmas Obs.. what do you expect. Credit crunch or not people still have pressies to buy even if they can't really afford it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Obs, when you think about it, not everyone and every business is in recession you know. there are still millions and millions of people in work and with the exception of the local Wollies, there heven't been a great deal of closures around here so people still have money to spend....

observer Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I know - I'm refering to the propaganda`we've been fed by the politicians - either that's untrue or folk are still splashing out with their credit cards on things they can't really afford - which suggests we havn't learnt anything and are destined to repeat the crunch experience again? But on another tack, I thought if folk set aside just one day in the week to reflect on their priorities, they may decide that consumerism isn't one of them?

We've clearly had major financial issues, but the media as usual nowadays have to fill 24 hour news programmes, so blow everything out of proportion to keep a stroy running. I will grant you, your crusade against any form of credit is consistent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LymmParent Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Can I just ask what you were doing in town on Sunday Obs? Clearly not spending the sabbath at home with family in quiet contemplation of your priorities..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly not spending the sabbath at home with family in quiet contemplation of your priorities..... You should know by now that Obs is the arch proponent of 'do as I say, not as I do'. His rants on traffic violations are particularly entertaining and hypocritical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 LP, it was reported to me by someone who was trying to find a car park - I spent the sabbath at home. Fats: still smarting over your bad driving habits being identified?! No, I didn't say everyone was affected by the credit crunch, the Gov did: I merely contrasted that with my observations of continued mass spending, and wondered whether this was with cash or credit - if the latter, we've clearly not learnt anything have we?!

disgusted Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Fats: still smarting over your bad driving habits being identified?! Me? I thought that during the course of your box-junction rant, we established that you yourself violated some rules of the road yourself? Not really sure we identified any of mine, I freely admit to speeding on the M-way, so not sure why I would be 'smarting' about that?
