The Bad News.
If you had bought £1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you
would have £49.00 today.
If you had bought £1,000 of shares in AIG insurance company one year
ago, you would have £33.00 today.
If you had bought £1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers five years ago,
you would have nothing today.
If you had bought £1,000 of shares in Northern Rock three years ago,
you would have nothing today.
The Good News.
But, if you had but £1,000 worth of beer one year ago at Tesco's,
drunk all the beer, then taken the aluminium cans to the scrap metal dealer,
you would have received a £214.00.
Based on the above, the best current economic plan for the country, is to
drink heavily &
recycle.
Walking versus Driving.
A recent study found that the average Briton walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found that Britons drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol
a year.
That means that, on average, Britons get about 41 miles to the gallon!
Makes you proud to be British
