lady_windermereSorry for two posts so soon after each other, but I just thought I would share about how the recession is effecting some people.
There is this man who really annoys David. His name is David Thompson, and while David never talks to him himself, he gets comments (which he maintains are highly critical), relayed via this woman Maureen. I don't really trust Maureen myself, as she takes great delight in winding David up.
Anyway, DT, as he is called, has investments and shares. At present he is almost watching the news 24/7 to keep track of how his shares are doing. He has lost quite a bit of money on them, and, as he is retried, this means that his savings are dwindling.
DT's mood is not improved by the fact that David is receiving quite a few thousand just now from his uncle's estate, while David has no idea where to put the money to make the most of it!
My up side is that, because David is getting this inheritance, he is taking me out for a meal on Saturday!
