Don't worry about it love. There is no economic crisis.

Judging by the amount of people I've seen with Amazon Kindles over the last few days. If folks can afford to spunk over a ton on a device plus the price of a book for the privilege of not having to go to a book shop and buying an actual book then there is no economic crisis.

It's just something for the papers to write about until another MP or footballer is caught f**king some z-list celebrity.

I used to worry about acid rain and the ozone layer but they seemed to have sorted themselves out.
