What Credit Crunch

[dropbag_clone]

"What credit crunch?"

"I was just expressing my view that the credit crunch has not and will not hit me or my family"

And yet later on in the thread you state:

"I have said to my 11 and 9 year old that because of the price of the euro there is no way we are going on holiday this year"


So the 'credit crunch' or general economic downturn is affecting you, as it will most people before too long.
Lets hope that the 50,000 jobs that are forecast to disappear from our industry doesn't bite you as well!

I think we should all be wary of what 2009 and 2010 will bring us.

NO the crunch has not hit me, I love England and its a double bonus if we go to Spain for a holiday however if those euros are as the same price as the UK£ then why give my hard earn't to Spain when it can be used in England???? I am hoping for 2 weeks of glorious sunshine now in August though

Essential items are going up...non essentials are going down.

Its a con to rip off the average working person who has no real wealth, just a weekly wage.

And another thing...why are Nat West offering free financial advice ( ala TV ad) when they just took a huge chunk of the multi billion bail out to survive. Seems they are the last people ask about money.

I don't about you lot, but i'm not feeling any differents, apart from over the months of things coming down in price which is making things easier.
I work for a govenment body.
I live in a 3 bedroom local authority house in 1 of the most expensive parts of the country, which i'm coping with.
Food is not a problem as I shop around, Lidl, Frozen Foods, Morrisons and the like.
Petrol from Asda
Council Tax all up to date
So no problem here

Unlucky all you home owners Ha Ha, reap what you sow comes to mind

Labour govenment is a good thing, done with the CGP thatcher times

Paid my mortgage off when I was 38. Worked hard to do it. Funny how you mention in one breath that you live in a local authority house and then that you live in an expensive area. Sounds like you are a closet snob.

What I don t understand either is, if someone has decided to try to buy their house, why do they have to be a Thatcherite ? My mum and dad bought their first house in 1960 and they are both staunch labour supporters. Putting the dance smiley after your sow what you reap comment is very sad.

lucky bugger ! good for you, greynut, I am 41 and still paying mine off, BTW I only owe £10 grand so its not excessive. everybody Labour or Tory aspire to a house that is theirs and theirs only.

WolfieTone: such smugness will only put people's back up and you never know you may be setting yourself up for some Bad Karma.

opinions count and it great to get feed back, however a snob "No" and I work hard for my pounds and as I am the only one working in my house on my royal mail wage and out of that I support my wife and our 3 children, the eldist is 17 and goes to colledge and I run a car.
So as I said "What Credit Crunch"
Rep what you sow "please behave"
