COCKER 'CELEBRATES' CREDIT CRUNCH

British pop star JARVIS COCKER refuses to let the ongoing economic crisis get him down, insisting the world should "celebrate" the credit crunch.
The Pulp frontman is adamant the current financial downturn will force people to rethink their purchases, and he insists money worries are no reason for anyone to be gloomy - because plenty of fun can be had without spending lots of cash.
He says, "I think the credit crunch is a brilliant thing. We should all stop moaning and start celebrating. When times are tough, it's an opportunity to start looking at life in a different way.
"Unless you're living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks, there's no point in being gloomy. We've spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we don't really need.
"We've stopped using our imaginations. Now is the time to realise that another new pair of shoes isn't going to make us feel better for long.
"The things that are guaranteed to make us happy are right in front of our eyes and they don't cost sixpence. A bit of sunshine and a nice walk along the beach - you can't go wrong with that combination."
