This is a question The Credit Crunch

Did you score a bargain in Woolworths?
Meet someone nice in the queue to withdraw your 10p from Northern Rock?
Get made redundant from the job you hated enough to spend all day on b3ta?

How has the credit crunch affected you?

it's changed my job completely
this time last year, the queries on my desk were: i want to build here, there's a right of way going through it; i want to buy this property, get rid of the tenants etc.

now it's: i've exchanged and i want to pull out; can i reduce the purchase price; i can't afford my rent; and time after time after time (FIFTEEN THIS WEEK): my tenant's gone into administration, what do i do... or also my landlord hasn't paid his mortgage and the bank are throwing me out, what can i do...

it's worrying/upsetting because every insolvency provokes another one (see woolies and zavvi) and nobody wins. well, except the accountants and the lawyers, but even then you end up recovering small percentages of the bill.

and spending most of the day worrying about job security, which is horrid of course.

but on the bright side, there's some amazing restaurants near my new office, anyone been to a salade and chosen their own deli salad, it's the Shit!!

Unfortunately...
The Salade next to my office opened and closed again before I had the chance. That's the REAL impact of the credit crunch...
