The credit crunch sounds like a distant relative of those unappealing chocolate fingers called Bueno Kinder. Yes, those associated with the equally unsurprisingly, undesirable Kinder Surprise eggs. This confectionery has caused me many a slumberless night.
Apart from tasting like toasted cotton wool, on a bed of fine sandpaper, coated with sweetened, dark-brown, liquid, boot polish, why do they exist?
Yes obviously people must like them but why?
I think this sort of gubbins must be responsible for the hysteria over obesity in children.
That coupled with the incredulous fact that oranges are no longer selling as well as they once used to.
Why?
Well oranges (not the only fruit, I know) are tedious to peel these days, therefore they are spurned in favour of the clementine or tangerine or satsuma. As to why anyone would want to peel a Japanese, heavyweight, wrestler in a thong is a mystery to me....but then the popularity of Kinder confectionery remains a mystery so.......(tails off bored with own theorising)
In other news I saw "Gone, baby gone", Ben Aflecks directorial debut, and I can say it is definitely worth seeing.

Maybe the Health and Safety Executive have got involved - too many sore thumbs is not good.
Which is the same reason why Kinder Eggs should be banned.
