‘Current Economic Climate’. The three words that are currently annoying me even more than the pronounciation of the current year (incidentally, I heard another variation recently - ‘Two Thousand Nine’. I don’t hate it.).

Seriously, I think I could go home, dress up as a circus acrobat, slaughter the kitties and conduct satanic rituals with the freshly-drawn blood of the sweet old lady next door before topping myself and attaching a note to my chest reading ‘Current Economic Climate’. People would nod sagely and say to themselves ‘ahhh, the Current Economic Climate. That explains everything’, and then erect a statue to me or something.

Tossers.

Food is cheap as all the supermarkets are slashing the price of everything. Mortgages are plummeting. Restaurants are panicking and throwing out crazy offers to get in trade - the majority of consumers in decent paying, steady jobs have never had it so good. Sure, it sucks in retail or manufacturing, but your average white-collar worker who’s managed to cling onto their job (and let’s face it, most people have) are laughing all the way to the (publicly owned) bank.

So please stop using the phrase ‘Current Economic Climate’ as the catch-all boogeyman for meaness, stupidity and self-gratification. Because it’s moving me to blog.
