the recession has not effected me at all,in fact we are getting more packets and parcels by the day,we have said recession has not had any impact whatsoever. We are getting more yorkies every day. (they must be getting it on credit) has anyone noticed Amazon packets increasing i thought amazon were using someone else at one time, perhaps the apposition could not handle it
