the majority of people on here are minted anyway, or work part time jobs and have few overheads to pay so the recession isn't gunna be an issue to most, although it will suck for a few tfers (like hannah). So the uk trials market is prety secure from a "people will buy stuff" aspect, however since the pound sucks at the moment (70p to $1, i know buying in is mostly from china but i know the dollar price from college today) buying in goods will cost more, since there is no real economy of scale to the trials market, in that tarty won't be spending millions on stock, things are likely to go up, surely? and the tax cut is insignificant unless your spending a few grand your really only saving a few quid most of the time. meh
