Some interesting recession based facts from The Times yesterday.
Since last year’s budget in the UK:
Domino’s Pizza profits are up by 25%
Computer games sales are up by 20%
Sales of Argo’s cheapest sewing machines are up by 500%
Sales of turnips are up by 75%
Lunch box sales are up 75%
The average amount left under the pillow by the tooth fairy has gone down by 30%
Another interesting fact I discovered the other day whilst in conversation with a friend is that demand for osteopath’s are up (I thought that this would be an income elastic product) as people are keen to miss as few a days as possible from work because they fear for the security of their jobs.
