What credit crunch?

LETTER: Life just couldn't be better. What earthly reason would I have not to vote for Gordon Brown?

A three per cent rise in council tax, 40p per week, so what, doesn't affect me, I don't pay council tax. Interest rise or decrease on mortgages and rent rises, so what, doesn't affect me, I don't pay rent or mortgage.

Increasing rises in bus fares, so what, doesn't affect me. I don't pay bus fares.

Prescription charges, so what, doesn't affect me. I don't pay prescription charges.

Savings losing capital interest, so what, doesn't affect me. I don't have any savings.

I'm a 69-year-old living in the place of my birth and I have never worked.

Every week I go to the hole in the wall and by a magic, which I have never questioned, money just drops out and into my purse.

My home is beautiful a two-bed purpose built property maintained by a housing trust. My lawn is cut, my windows are cleaned, my fence is painted, my doors and windows are security tested.

I travel by bus free in my home town of Telford, I take considerable advantage of the NHS because I can.

Mortgage, rent and council tax was a worry once, before a lovely lady helped me fill in the forms.

I am part of a thriving social scene, I always have somewhere to be with others sharing similar interests.

I have been able to show my children how to live a likewise pleasant existence.

Recession, what's that? My life hasn't changed, nor will it.

Cheers Gordon.
