Phew!

Im glad I didn't win the lottery last night - I wouldn't want to have to put my millions in any bank at the moment!

The credit crunch also raises another question. I think its pretty much inevitable that we are now in a recession, but a few media pundits have been talking about a depression.

So, my question is...when does a recession become a depression?

A recession is a reduction in economic growth and minor job losses.

A depression is when the reduction in economic growth gets to the point of mass unemployment.

ATM only the leisure industry and luxuries are being hit.

a recession is when your hair goes back and a depression is when the doctor gives you tablets for it
