Seriously… what’s it going to take for a news person to admit we’re headed into (or are in already) some form of recession???

I mean come on!

Look around you, shops are closing, house sales have dried up, prices for food n essentials are rising… I’m no economist but surely these are major signs of a slow down?

Shops are always having sales these days… remember when you used to have maybe 2 or 3 a year? Boxing day sales.. maybe the odd new season sale…

Now it seems to be the boxing day sales, the spring sales, end of catalogues sale, the easter sales, pre-summer sale, mid-summer sale, the autumn sale, the pre-christmas sale… when is the non-sale period now? :confused:

Perhaps if someone dares say “recession” then we’ll more likely get a full blown one… oops, I said it.. oh no… now it’s all my fault! 🙂

In other news, job hunting is still ticking along… be nice to get a job now, few more things have popped up, should have a 2nd interview for one job this week. Cross fingers.
