This most definately is a reflection of the times we currently live in ... and it aint pretty ...
A shop has recently opened in the town just over from mine, which is now selling goods on 'tick' ie. buy now, pay later; but its not credit, it's advertised as 'Your Weekly Payment' store.
This paints a very vivid picture of the community just not having the money to pay outright for things anymore ... or they dont want to put it on their credit cards ... or even are unable to GET credit.
Also we see the return of the Pawn Shop (get the spelling right there, Mouse!) and the Cash for Gold shops.
I just feel like this country is going BACKWARDS!
And now to cap it all, we have the Government saying we can feed a family of 4 on £50 a week! Sainsbury's were quick to take up the baton for that one, by taking out a 2-page colour spread in the National newsapers to promoting THEIR idea of a 7-day menu to reflect this.
It was immediately obvious thate there were no 5-a-day fruits in there, or desserts or treats in any way or form.
Is this REALLY what's it's come down to?
Please note: For anything in the future labelled the 2011's ... read the 1950's!
