Winners & losers

Sales of the famous London black cabs have fallen by more than a third

The charter jet business is doing well – owners are having to sell up so they rent instead

Daily child care providers are doing well as mothers are forced back to work (for now). Super nannies for the super rich are losing their jobs

Queues are forming outside shoe repair shops which are busier than they have been since I were a lass. Bins which collect old shoes for recycling for charity are not as full as they were

A sandwich shop is advertising the Credit Crunch Lunch – a sandwich for £1. No extra ingredients or made-to-order
