Seems as if the hidden recession is still amongst us, empty shops and car parks, little traffic after 6.00pm,few riding bikes unless the sun comes out,no incoming sales calls, seems like uk plc has gone into shutdown for the last few weeks.
And so many miserable faces out walking an on the canals lately.
It's just lucky you're here to cheer us all up then, eh?

Surely it's the fault of the government?
Go on, you know you want to.......
We had no empty shops in our village at Christmas , this year we have lost 2 shops and a third will go in the summer.
No doubt bloody charity shops will move in.

We were all down the park, in the sunshine. There was a 10+min queue for the ice cream van and a 10 min queue for the bouncy castle taking 8 kids at a time.
Never seen the park so busy, it was ace. There were even some English parents there! Normally when we go to the park its just oir fellow Europeans playing with their kids after school.
