A woman goes to a butchers and asks for a lb of cumberland sausages.
The butcher says ‘Sorry, no cumberland, I’ve only got credit crunch sausages?’
Woman says ‘what on earth are credit crunch sausages?’
Butcher replies ‘they’re pork at one end and breadcrumbs at the other because in a credit crunch you can’t make both ends meat.
