It is a hard knock life!!

there's no denying it

its a hard knock life. especially now with the current recession.

you'd be pretty enclosed not to have noticed the high street quieter than an average day.

yesterday (saturday 6/12) a local gamestation store was meant to have approx £26K in sales, selling the 360 to the gamer geeks and the wii's to the masses of families wanting that great day in. instead it trolled in £7K.

ok it was cold and frosty. when hasnt it been cold in previous years though? it was a new store so not many people were aware of it and maybe the HQ over estimated it too but still. everyone is feeling the pinch. store's are being forced to downsize to smaller units to avoid the extra overheads that arent bringing in the cash.

this definatly is a great time for those that saved. recently i went to look at a new car and almost without playing hardball the dealer was preparing to knock off £2.5K from a £8K vehicle!

this is not even going with the current "hype" of buying one car and getting another free!!

its a crazy world and it takes craziness of another level to stay alive.
