Spot on Steve; one of the frightening aspects of modern life is that you can actually get a truer reflection of life walking the streets than you can from our lazy, incompetent, useless media.
It's one reason why ghastly social networks have a good side to them (as everything does).

It always seems to me that when the media talk about the UK going into recession, we all decide not to go out and buy that new car or TV set just yet or put that loft conversion on hold which all leads to the economy shrinkage. Now they are talking about recovery we are all going to buy those lovely things we have denied ourselves. Normally with money that we don't have which isn't a bad thing in a way. If everyone waited until they had the money to afford things the economy wouldn't move for decades. So the cycle starts again.
