Recently Prime Minister Gordon Brown said each British citizen would get a £600.00 tax rebate. It was previously slated to be £800.00, but they dropped it to a £600.00 tax rebate because of various budget problems. Now, if we spend that money on Toys, all the money will go to China; if we spend it on computers, most of the money will go to Korea or India. If we spend the money on electronics, it will go to Japan and Taiwan. If we spend it on Petrol/Diesel it will all go to the Arabs ......and none of these scenarios will help the British economy. We need to keep that money here in Britain.....so the only way to keep that money here at home is to drink beer, gamble, or spend it on prost1tution. Currently it seems that these are the only businesses still left in the U.K. Last edited by PaulR; 01-04-2008 at 10:40 PM Reason: changed to larger typeface | ||

Hurray!! | Surely there is still some UK made things that one can buy. Also one can spend the money on services like education. Order some great books and novels written in the UK to fill up some empty shelves in the library. Buy some clothes for the winter from Scotland, order several DVD series made by the BBC and go to few concerts and plays. | ||
