# I hate the saying 'credit crunch'

EDIT: sorry how rude, morning grump mode off. Wttp :)

# Me too!
It's not that it doesn't mean anything as it's been given meaning. It's just everything has to has it's buzzword to make it sound cool in the media.
It's a recession. It is in no way cool, stop trying to market it!

# It means that the LIBID (London Interbank Bid Rate )
is too high. No bank will lend another any money, credit dries up and money stops sloshing about the system.
That's the "Credit Crunch". Credit being stopped and you need money to make money. Northern rock wasn’t that fucked; but as soon as there was a run on the bank it all went tits up. This happened around the same time as the CDO crash. If the credit market would open up things would get better sooner. But you'd be stupid to lend to someone who may go tits up at any mo. Cos they need credit :)

# I am aware of all this.
But that's no longer the case. Credit Crunch has gone on to mean recession.

# There is no recession.
keep on saying that.

There is no recession.

There is no recession.

There is no recession.

Is it true yet?

# no, this isn't right either
The credit crunch and the recession are two different things, and each one fueled and exacerbated the other.

# "credit crunch"
The people who lent money to others to buy goods and houses, suddenly stopped lending that money and have spent it themselves (buying gold and oil etc)
Mainly the Chinese and Russian Govts and middle eastern oil states

# Sorta reminds me of just after 9/11 when I worked near Tower Bridge.
Within a day of it happening there were laminated A4 printed adverts on the railing by the station offering biochemical gasmasks for £200.
Souless fucktards.

EDIT: Sounds like music to me.

# Fear is the main tool used in every advert.
It's an excellent business model.

From insurance to bleach, fashion to music.

"Keeping up with the Joneses" was the best phrase for capitalism ever coined.

You know deep down that if you don't go and get those kittens they will be in a tesco bag floating down the nearest river/canal by Sunday evening.

# I have to buy a load of pastries every morning
and obviously I pup them in the plakky bags they have by the pastries. When I go to check out they always try and get me to put these in carrier bags and I always have to explain that they're already in one.
One woman won't even leave it at that. She tells me that they break and I explain that I've been doing it for years and have never had that problem.
I'm guessing she's basing this on the fact that she once saw a broken one rather than any actual research carried out on the subject.

# Maybe she has a phD on the subject?
Her thesis would have been "Processing and characterization of polymer based composite carrying devices with superior impact resistance" which would also explain why she is now working in a shop...

Of course, the pharma industry is actually pretty well insulated against recession.
