Re: You all got this all wrong.. you see (4.00 / 3)

These are normal times Metatone.

This is the second recession I have been through this decade. I have lived through 4 recessions (and I am discounting the ones in the seventies because I was too young to know what was happening) and 2 property crashes.

My father was made redundant when I was 16. I have been made redundant twice. I would have been made redundant last week but for the saving grace of moving to a job in the Netherlands.

This is all I have ever known.

Yes - Metatone's comment, again, about this not being normal times, pace Krugman.
