I'd agree with most of that Keem, with the exception of the gardens and extensions bit. I can't see many people moving homes next year, so the women will be nagging to get the gardens and the rest of the DIY sorted and with the building of new houses coming to a standstill (along with maintenence work on factories being cut back with other cost cuts) there's never been a better time to get a builder for your extension.
Know what you mean though. It's amazing that most people that I talk to at work in or the pubs just don't seem to see it affecting them. I'm not sure what it will take to open their eyes. Maybe a few house reposessions in their streets and, as above, a few people they know losing their jobs.
The retail sector must be fuckin shitting themselves over Christmas sales.
