Worried builders turn to psychic Russell Grant

Astrologist Russell Grant claims that small builders are turning to his psychic services for advice on how to survive the recession.

The cuddly clairvoyant runs a team of crystal-ball gazers "selected from the best psychics throughout the UK."

The firm used to specialise in love related matters but during the past few months an increasing number of business owners have been calling up to get advice on coping with the economic downturn.

Russell said: "Using psychics and mediums for business use is not unusual, in fact they are usually employed to suss out prospective employees, solve mysteries within the workplace or indeed work hand in hand with astrologers and Financial Directors to plot the business moving forward."

One of his psychics said: "Many worried self-employed men and women have been calling me during the past few weeks. I was very pleased to be able to guide a number of people into opening their minds to other avenues within their businesses to limit the losses they have been facing over the past few months".
