Yep wallets and purses are super-glued shut. Hardly surprising considering the present popularity of sackings.

I went out yesterday and loads of places were doing discounts, some had closed down. Bought 46 Dreamcast/Saturn and SNES games for 6700 YEn that a store was selling off. The stores like Book Off are putting down their prices and i noticed MCdonalds and put back the Shaka Shka chicken and McPork burger to teh 100Y menu. Supermarkets and department stores need to follow suit, people won't pay the same prices a s a year ago.

Well that should keep you occupied for a while. We can all hope can’t we?
