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?

Possibly not the credit crunch, but..
I quit my job a few weeks ago. I had a pretty easy-going job at a restaurant in Hertfordshire - free food, free accommodation.. Life was sweet, basically.
I have always been under the impression that I can get a job anywhere, and be fairly picky about where I work (I'm a chef, and a somewhat experienced one, so in general I'm always in demand and have never been without work unless I've wanted to..).
It turns out, moving to Brighton in the middle of winter and trying to find work is not as easy as one may think. So far the best I have come up with is free accommodation and meals at a hostel so long as I clear glasses for them every busy night.
My advice? Pretend there is no 'economic chrisis'. I have just accidentally found a way to eat and sleep for free, whilst spending my few 'working' hours listening to Jurassic 5 and Sly and the family Stone.
