Save the economy, buy carpets!

These are perilous times, if we are to believe western international leaders. Men with beards from the Middle East hate our freedom and are willing to lay down their lives in the war against the infidel West.

These are also times of economic recession, if we are to believe financial pages in our news papers. The credit crunch and high oil prices are driving companies into bankruptcy. Inflation and unemployment are up, house prices and job openings are down.

All in all, these are scary and confusing times. Maybe that is why a local high street carpet store put this sign outside of their shop....

I just think this is stretching it a bit!
