I’m not a big fun of the fast foods, but it’s a treat for my daughter from time to time.

Yesterday we’ve decided to go to Mc Donald for a quick lunch and we have been faced with the huge queue – something I’ve never seen in Mc Donald before.
It’s just before Christmas and many people are doing their shopping, but this Mc Donald isn’t in the center of the town (Chichester) it’s completely outside – by A27.

I started wondering whats happened, why queue in Mc Donald – and one of the things which came up to my head was that many people can’t really afford going to the nice and expensive restaurants these days.

Since credit crunch has been officially announced there’s been a lot of changes around – government reduced the VAT to 15%, price of the petrol has gone down, many businesses (even big ones) have gone bust – what obviously increased the redundancy – in general, there’s less consumption because majority of the people have been forced to think twice before they spend any money.

I believe that this situation, in some way will have a positive impact on our lives – despite the fact that it may also cause a lot of problems in the long run.

Reduced consumption may help with the problems of obesity and excessive use of the natural resources. Companies will compete even more to get the client – this can increase the quality of the products and services.

Because Credit Crunch is forcing us to think about tomorrow – we may eventually learn how to live differently from what we’re used to.

What do you think?
