Buying A New Kitchen And Other Woes
Has anyone else noticed the desperation creeping into the voice of radio advertisers recently? I was listening to local radio the other day whilst doing the ironing (glamorous I know) and there was an advert for new kitchens – come to our kitchen showroom and all that stuff. The woman kept telling me how I shouldn’t wait until next year to buy my new kitchen, just because I don’t think I can afford it. I should buy it now, because I can afford it. They give free credit. Remember, don’t wait until next year, because I deserve luxury surroundings right this second!
The rather obvious meaning was that if I wait until next year, they won’t be selling new kitchens anymore. Those granite worktops I always dreamed about will vanish in a puff of smoke and that silky-voiced woman will have to go and work on another advert. So goes the credit crunch.
