That's very true but they have fed this want over need mind set .People seem to think it's their right to have 3 cars ,new house ,two weeks in the sun etc .....Even the latest bit of techno bullocks is a basic human right it would seem these days ...

I'm off to see if I can dry out the bonfire for this evenings yearly treat for the kids .A sparkler , burnt sausage and ONE whizz bang ...I wa born in a wet paper bag ya know ....

I read in the Sunday papers that Volvo sold over 41 ,000 trucks in the 3rd quarter of 2007.
In the same quarter in 2008, they sold only 115. A 99.8% fall.

IT business is not much better either.

These are hard times, what about the milions/billions these banks made over the last 10 years? People should keep some back for the trough after the peak. Like my grandmother said if you can't afford it don't have it!
