    Yep! Read this in a paper today, it appears whats bad for the economy is great for those who advertise during Jeremy Kyle, Loose Wimmins and Seoige x2. Reduced to a nation of couch dwellers with a duvet and a bag of crisps for heat and a mug of tea, watch the crumbs!

    There is only so much of daytime television that anyone person can handle. Weather it is the banter from across the water on This Morning or Loose Women or the happy happy omg attitude of the xpose girls during this recession it will eventually grate on you and you will become addicted to finding out what the hell happens to the pregnant teenager in Neighbors (yes they don't spell it with a U).

    Daytime TV on up as times get hard

    It is time to get out of the house. Go to the gym, you possibly have paid those annual fee, go on get fit.

    OR

    Why not think of studying, while the academic year has already started perhaps it is time to look at either night or day course as a hobby that may lead you to thinking about a full time course next year. After all we have all paid the nations colleges.

    The Neighbours website disagrees with you.

    Australia uses proper spelling. That's why it's the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

    (your Times link is wonky btw)
