I have spent the last week hearing about the credit crunch, luckily\u00a0 I have not been affected by the drop in share values as I don’t have any.

I am a small business owner therefore the banks have never done me any favours. I am enjoying watching them squirm a bit along with ‘The City’, my solution is to go to the seaside for the weekend and walk by the sea with Ange, Vez and Elvis (also Vez’s friend Lauren).<\/p>\n

We have all got our values the wrong way round nowadays, we care too much about property, wealth and everything that goes with it.

I will develop this idea in future posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
