I bumped into my mate in the pub last night who was looking a bit glum, so I asked him what was up.

"Because of the recession?" I asked.

"No" he replied. "I've been forced off benefits and been made to get a job."

There will be freeloader's of course. Animals have had a very bad time too. But if you think these are bad times ....
