Cut-price hand jobs a sure economic indicator

One of Gombeen Man's spies spotted and snapped the above image in Co Meath the other day. The big difference between today's recession and that of the Eighties, is that hand jobs didn't exist in Catholic Ireland back then. Unless you were a member of the clergy, of course.

Gombeen Man is at pains to point out that he's not familiar with this sector of the market, but doesn't eight Euros seem quite cheap? Maybe the ESRI should include this in their next economic indicator?
