My friend Cherise was in a cafe on the corner of Kingsland Road last week and next to each of the power sockets was a sign that said something like, "Due to the credit crunch we need to charge £1 per hour to anyone who needs to plug in their phone or laptop." I like the way everything is now "due to the credit crunch." People aren't being stingy, oh no, they're just being sensible. What next? Putting a fistful of coins in the meter before your local greasy spoon will fry you an egg? Paying for the washing up liquid so that you'll get clean plates to eat it on? Bringing your own waitress to serve you the food? All this got me thinking so I sat down and tried to foresee some other things that will soon be happening "due to the credit crunch."
