Funnily enough since the 'slowdown' started last year I've earnt more money than I have done in my life, which is annoying that during the 'good times' I was earning piss all for years, and now that I can buy a solid gold top hat and drink heaven water made from pure silver it seems everyone else has to 'tighten their belts' - I'm not 'bragging' by the way I'm just annoyed i was in the 21st Century version of street urchin rags and now I feel like a concerned Jew in Jack London's People of the Abyss. Anyway anyone else 'not' or 'are' affected by blah de blah? I'm mean people who work not people who still live at home with their David Cameron supporting parents.
