A Joke, obviously a sign of the times.
The economy has taken up media space for months. Today is the G20 (country debt), sterling has hit a 13 year low (£ demise against the $) and Osbourne warning of a 'collapse of sterling'.
This joke was told at a local community event tonight, which is how you know how economic woes are very real.
Gordon Brown was travelling in London. The motorcade then stopped, blocking the rest of the traffic."What's wrong?"
"Gordon Brown is threatening to set himself on fire, because of the economy. He needs to collect some money from the people to help him and the economy"
"So, how much did they collect?"
"Ten gallons of petrol".

A banner in Wales vs Canada match recently:
"Even in a credit crunch Halfpenny goes a long way"
(Halfpenny's a new 19 years old player for Wales who made an impressive start against South Africa earlier)
