Is Sedbergh in recession ?

The fact this car has been for sale since Christmas, and is still so proves that my local town is either in recession or has serious reservations about its future finances. A white BMW diesel hatch back at low mileage ,and a reasonable price tag should have sold within days of being advertised. It is an aspirational vehicle for someone to trade up to. It is not a brand new car, but it will require the average person to take out a loan when they trade in against it. It is a measuring tool that eliminates people wealthy enough to buy new, hence its lack of sale seems to suggest the average person is sitting tight and not splashing out on an image upgrade that is not essential. As i said earlier this car encapsulates upward mobility (or the image of it ) so popular in this town amongst ordinary working people. Its a lot to read into a car, but when you know your town and your cars i think i can make the leap. ?We shall see...

Creatures of the night ?

Since when have Jackdaws become nocturnally active ? Gone are the days when they were all roosting or asleep when venturing outside to check animals on the farm last thing at night. In fact they are all wide awake lining up sat on a gate as if expecting some great event. Like humans they are taking advantage of what was once down time. What they are gaining though im not so sure as all animal feed has been eaten by that hour and scavenging opportunities by then are none existent. Maybe the gatherings are social ? After hours style...lol
