Britons ready to strip, bed bosses to beat recession blues

One in five women confessed that she wouldn't mind sleeping with her boss to secure a pay rise.

He added: "It is incredible to think that people are even considering some of the things listed."

The survey of 4,000 people revealed 18 per cent of Britons would fiddle their expenses.

Also, 21 per cent of UK residents claimed that they would sell treasured possessions like wedding rings and 50 per cent would consider recycling presents so that they didn't have to buy new ones. (ANI)
