What's the Capital of Iceland?

Credit Crunch One Liners

• The credit crunch has helped me get back on my feet. The car's been repossessed.
• Latest news: The Isle of Dogs* Bank has collapsed. They've called in the retrievers.
• I went to buy a toaster and it came with a bank.
• A man went to his bank manager and said, 'I'd like to start a small business. How do I go about it?'
  'Simple,' said the bank manager. 'Buy a big one and wait.'
• A director decided to award a prize of £50 for the best idea of saving the company money during the credit crunch. It was won by a young executive who suggested reducing the prize money to £10.

* The Isle of Dogs is part of the East End of London, think of one of the loops in the river Thames.

New Cashpoint

This is one of those slow burning funnies.  It took me a while before I spotted the slot machine inside the cashpoint.

Mind you, I started off with a large fortune.'

Big Issue in the Credit Crunch

Last week Guy talked to his bank manager.  The manager, Mr Evans said 'Guy from now on, I am going to concentrate on the big issues*.

Today I saw Mr Evans outside Wal-Mart, and he sold me a copy!

The Big Issue is a UK magazine sold by the homeless
