Hyundais are a recession car I think. Cheap to run, cheap to buy and you get to hold onto your superiority complex for driving a bigger car

Before the recession it was all Land Rover Sport Vogue with PRNDLtronic gearbox because you was too good for such a lowly activity for plebs as changing gears yourself

tinnies? Hey, fellas, tinnies. Well, ooh la-di-da, Mr. Frenchman.

How naive are some people. Do people really believe a period of deflation is causing such a dramatic change in living standards? People are eating out less and being slightly more price aware as opposed to not price aware at all. This does not equate to giving up lattes, buying tinned food, eating in Mcdonalds or shopping in Lidl. It means less lattes, buying the same food minus the superquinn 50 euro african water and eating out as a treat rather than a regular occurrence.

Some of these recession threads and the naivety of people are hilarious.
