    Mates parents have just informed him they are hiring staff to do Christmas this year ... So a chef and waiting staff/ washing up staff for the house for the day... As Xmas is so stressful (family of 3 adult children). Think it's great that someone can get employed by this but it is the most OTT thing I have heard in a long time! Made me think, anyone have decent 'no recession round here' stories?!

    They did.

    Although, in retrospect, I think it was an overdraft for the whole Christmas shopping.

    Still, pretty cringey.

    Dun Laoghaire. Posh aree. I suppose they have escaped the worst of the recession with their cushy government jobs but still. Do they not realise its just a tin of extra value with a different label
