Sorry to keep harping about the recession but heard this on the radio today: Geraint Anderson, the Author of City Boy: Fear and Loathing in the Square Mile (story of a banker's life in London's financial district) says, "I think one of the good things about the recession is that it has led to the creation of great art and music...people are more relaxed about free stuff."
Seems as if my unqualified opinion can now be backed up by some more, ahem, "credible" sources.
The fact that I heard this at half past midnight in a cab back from office (with my cycle in it because I was too tired to bike) adds some irony to the incident.

Cheating on your blog by posting journal entries, cheating on your biking by taking cab rides home... You're letting your standards slip.
Does the "credible" source have any hypotheses about why, suddenly, work pressure seems to have gone up like crazy, when recession is still on?
Credible? Really?
"Anderson says he lived the hippy life and smoked dope. He then undertook a degree in history at Queens' College, University of Cambridge, and then an MA in revolutions at Sussex University, before heading back to Goa to plan a trading based lifestyle in trinkets."
There goes credibility.
@Sryon-Blame it on age.
@Jayantika- Tell me about it. for me its because I've chnaged departments. What about you?
@Spirited- I use "credible" sarcastically. Not because Anderson is a hippy loving the good life (I tend to believe these people and find most of them genuinely credible) but because he's an ex-investment banker. The sort of person society trusts. Or, at least, did about an year back.
