The Credit CrunchDid 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?

YESI've noticed this. I commute by motorised bicycle, so am normally going right at the speed limit. There are far more people doing 40 or 50 on the national speed limit road I use.

It annoys me. My motorcycle gets 65mpg at a bare minimum, when not caring at all for economy...
...and I'm getting slowed down by idiots in their 15mpg monsters trying to compensate by their uneconomical vehicle choice by dawdling along at ten under the limit.
At least overtaking on two wheels is easy.
It also meant I cared so very little about the fuel price changes. When you do 150 miles a week and use 10 litres of fuel to do it, a 10p spike in fuel cost only knocks an extra pound out of my wallet. I spend that every day on fruit.
