Recession?

I am a selfish person.

"petrol at Morrisons 99.8p a ltr and spent £15 in liddles came home with more than I could carry up in 1 go. God bless the recesion" Says my mate and the hell is he at? Is what I want to know. It is geting better for the poor people. Fuck the share holders and bankers.

And he continues, "fantastic value every were....roast beef frozen dinner. You know the sort of thing ...sliced beef,gravy,yorkshire,roasters and some veg £1 each!! feel hungry fine have 2".

I skyped, "hope yu dont throw alf of it in the bin sir!"

Then the rest:

[17:41:35] XXXXX says: Giant tins(800grm) ravioli bolognaise 65p OK its not gormet food but its still nice eating and fills you up...I cant get over how cheap everything was!

[17:42:35] alwaysshariff says: you have not bin there for a long time init?

[17:45:36] XXXXX says: some little while....fucking shame they dont deliver to the door...just have to keep poping back...and remember to take some carriers as the fuckers charge....3p each!

Well you have to excuse him, as he is not someone who goes to Lidle that often. I am a cretin, as I do not have a wife and kids ever, but as one little person in this fine country; I digress. How I love it when the big man falls!

State Of A Nation

I am a selfish person.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Facing a huge hole in Chicago's current and upcoming budgets, Mayor Richard Daley announced on Tuesday a plan to partially shut down city government for six days.

Along with several other measures, the mayor's plan was aimed at saving $62 million for the city's corporate or operating fund, which currently faces a $469 million shortfall.

Under the plan, city employees, with the exception of mostly public safety workers, would not work and would not be paid for the day after Thanksgiving or for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve this year and in 2009.

From "Chicago mayor to shut down government for six days"

A report released Tuesday by the Working Poor Families Project reveals that more than 28 percent of American families with one or both parents employed are living in poverty.

The report, “Still Working Hard, Still Falling Short,” is based on data for the period from 2004 through 2006 gathered from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey and the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey.

The report finds that 9.6 million households can be described as low-income or “working poor”—defined as families that earn less than 200 percent of the official poverty level. There were 350,000 more such families in 2006 than in 2002. More than 21 million children now live in low-income working families—an increase of 800,000 in four years.

Wicked init bloody mouthy North Americans are suffering, my day is looking good.
