Will the Recession Affect Your Spending this Christmas?

Recorded: 18th November 2009

The aim of this package was to be a short 'and finally...' piece. Something a bit more lighthearted and potentially related to Christmas which is coming up.

I went out to Canterbury Highstreet to see if I could find something about Christmas spending. Then I saw a helicopter staring from the distance, which made me think, all this pocket-tightening from the recession, could the public really afford something so lavish for Christmas this year?

The manager of helicopter promotion team agreed to an interview, and stated they have not had a knock from the recession. Likewise, a voxpop of the public also said they would buy it if they had to because parents and families always go that extra step around Christmas.
