Having a Great ‘Oul Recessionary Time

To any loyal readers I apologise for my absence these past two weeks. I took my Christmas Holidays J

Having watched “Things that went boom in the bust”, Marty Whelan’s show about what’s thriving in the recession I feel inspired to write about it. After all with the new year it’s always good to reflect on what’s going on in the country at the moment.

The programme refelcted the fact that in times of recession; people go back to the simple joys in life. The top ten things booming in the recession are:

• Custard, jelly. Sweeties, etc.
• Lingerie
• Fast Food
• Cosmetics
• DIY (everything, not just hammers and all that)
• Gold
• eBay
• Chocolate
• Scrabble (and other board games)
• Soup
