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?

Cheers, Deloitte!I worked for Woolworths. Well, someone had to.
When we found out about our closing down sale, Deloitte (our administrators) sent out an e-mail strictly forbidding employees to hoard stock for themselves during the sale.
"Well, fuck that" says I, and promptly start stashing all the good PS3 games, DVD's, CD's, etc.
December 27th rolls around and it's our final day of trading. At 3pm, everything is 90% off. I'm rubbing my hands with fucking glee at the bargains i'm about to get.
End result? £950 worth of stuff for about £70, after my staff discount. I also got Guitar Hero: Band Edition for the PS3 for £17 (should have been £169.99.)
Took it down to my local games shop the next day where they gave me £105 for it.
Nice.
