10 reasons to love the recession
November 14, 2008
Ok so ‘love’ might be too strong a word but it’s not all doom and gloom. What started out as 10 reasons evolved into 10 categories. So let’s just look at the bright side for a moment shall we?
- On the roads although not yet that noticeable but looking forward to:
- fewer SUVs
- less likelihood of being stuck behind dump trucks and backhoe loaders (I know these words - I have sons!)
- In the shops we can
- challenge prices without feeling really mean
- proudly wear our old clothes instead of buying new
- borrow books from the library instead of buying new
- In the kitchen we can
- be resourceful with meagre ingredients
- the housing market
- we no longer have to listen to the annoying ‘myhome doth ie’ radio ads
- down with the ‘exclusive living’ hoardings all over the city
- fewer noisy building sites
- foreign holidays
- who needs them, sure aren’t we grand where we are?
- flying is dangerous and bad for the environment - if there are any airlines still in business
- To amuse ourselves and while away the hours we
- blog, twitter, link in, facebook and engage in other mindless anti-social-social activities
- laugh at Sarah Palin interviews on youtube
- laugh at George Bush interviews on youtube
- walk instead of driving to
- save on fuel
- not get caught speeding/drink driving/driving with mobile/not wearing seat belts/
- get fit
- get even more fit
- save on calories by not eating out
- burn calories by walking instead of driving…
- change the way we work
- work for ourselves
- say ‘no’ to freebies except in really deserving cases
- spend more time on our own projects
- invent new ways to save the planet
- spend more time with our children
- catch up with
- learning
- reading
- family
- friends
- sleeping
- cleaning
- recycling
Can anyone think of more?
