The Credit what..?

Right. It's rant time.

Credit crunch, Credit crunch, Credit crunch, Credit crunch, Credit crunch, Credit crunch, Credit crunch! I don't think I'm alone in being sick of the term.

Everyday, in every article, something or someone has been affected by the effin' credit crunch. I write from a position of safety though - as I don't own anything of value (except for my wildly expensive Oyster card) and don't have any savings, then the worst thing that would happen if the banks collapsed would that my debt would vanish. I'm almost willing it to happen. High inflation would lead to hyperinflation and then popular uprising and looting so eventually everything would be free and I can upgrade from Sainsbury's basics tuna flakes to wild Scottish salmon caught individually by Burly Scotsmen and hand smoked over oak chips. Of course, there would be a little bit of anarchy and a smattering of crime and this style of shopping isn't beneficial for my nectar point balance.

Obviously, it is a rubbish time for a lot of people and will be for a while but let's think about the positives to come from it. We'll revert to the good old days when people made food out of ingredients, not out of packets. When people spent time interacting together not as mindless audiences to the TV/microwave/other squares, when men were chivalrous people, go outside to green spaces and become healthy. I know, they were mad back then.

Recession always leads to big changes to save everyone so in the words of our good mate Che, Viva la Revolucion! I for one, cannot wait. For starters, maybe a new term to replace credit crunch. Maybe.....The Money Smash
