I thought we were crunching credit or something like that.
I keep reading in the papers and seeing on tv about the people who have been queueing for hours outside the farce which is now Woolies (and other shops which have everlasting 'sales' ) and the shops in question half empty of goods.
What are these 'things' that people desperately need. Do they really need them or is it because they are cheap.
I read in my Sunday paper that people are withdrawing a lot money from their banks to buy up these 'things' always excusing themselves that they are 'cutting down'by buying them.
Our government is not setting a good example by trying to spend it's way out of disaster with our money.
I went into Tesco late--very late- one night. Hardly any customers there , but truckloads of 'things' being moved about. Iwondered who bought it and if no-one did, where it all went after Christmas.
I asked one elderly truck pusher what was in the mountain of boxes on his truck. "Couldn't tell you my duck but if its anything like most of the stuff we've had in lately, it will all end up at next summer's car boot sales ."
He said it was all Chinese trash.
