Recession


After the Diamond Jubilee, it's back to the harsh reality of a country deep into recession. The one shop thriving is the pawn shop. Taken this afternoon in a local shopping area, and it really is as grim as it looks.
Reminds me of the depression era thirties. Are we heading that way again... or are we already there.
