Credit crunch greetings cards go on sale
Given the dire economic situation walking up to someone and wishing them a 'merry credit crunch' is likely to get you punched ... so send them a card instead.
A greetings card company has launched a range of cards for you to send to people who didn't go on holiday this summer or who can't afford to pay their mortgage.
The cards mocking the credit crunch include one featuring a picture of a lego house with the message 'First time buyers find new solutions.'
Another declares '2008: Year of the staycation' with a picture of a rain soaked pier.
Selling for £2.99 per card, what cash-strapped loved one wouldn't like to know you still have money to waste on frivolous items?
Gavin Stirrat, managing director at Greetz.co.uk, said: "If there’s one thing Brits excel at, it’s somehow managing to laugh at their own predicaments, however dire.
"These are seriously tough times, but one way many people get through is by making light of it all so we’ve launched this new card range to hopefully raise a smile.
"After all, given the ominous predictions out there at the moment of a deep and long-lasting recession, you have to laugh or you'd cry."
