I didn't mean my post as an insult, just saying that pensioners would be the most likely customers for something like this, and they tend to have very little disposable income. I think that this business would struggle to make a profit, and would probably be an unfulfilling experience for our budding entrepreneur.
Hona my dear as I mentioned earlier I see 324 a more appealing offer unless of course as part of the whole BOGOF offer I can choose a different item which would be free afterall, as I hate the whole shopping task, I don't see why I should be going shopping for others too ;-)

"Hello, My name is Jaybee and I've come here to talk to you about an exciting new venture in the retail sector. It's a tried and tested strategy that combines advertising and profit gain in the same purchase scenario that has been tried and tested in corner shops the length and breadth of the country. Buy one get one free".

I've had a good dig round but I can't find all the threads insulting the old of East Dulwich - as advertised by Macroban. Which is disappointing because I fancied getting a bit of geriatric disparagement in before tea time.


Can someone point me in the direction of these? Maybe Macroban can do the necessary when it's her turn to have a go on the library computer again? (See? I'm a natural)

And when they've exhausted the library they all congregate at Hope & Greeenwod and chafe the propreiters about the authenticity of their merchandise.

When the patient owners point out how well they source their products and how close it is to the sugary crap it was originally, they start screaming about how much more expensive it is than before WW11.

The females storm off screeching exactly like the Monty Python cast used to do when they dragged up as old women.

Thus affording the males the opportunity to trouser some 'cough' candy and licorice whips.

They then meet up in the MIND shop to divvy up the loot.

All the while loudly remarking that in their day no one had the chance to be mad.

They were all too busy being evacuees or widows.


Blimey O' Reilly Ted, you're right, this senior-baiting is quite bracing, isn't it?

Hope your tea time went well anyway.

Probably like that Doreen Gray. Now there was a stranger to Oil Of Ulay. Olay as well I shouldn't wonder.

Battenberg? Can't touch a crumb of it since I heard that Johnny Cash song, Boy Named Sue. BOY? Named Sue? SUE. IF you don't mind.

Anyway one line goes 'It was Gatlinberg in mid-July', but I took it as 'Battenberg' and I've been unable to allow a morsel past my lips since.

I blame his diction of course, but hardly surprising, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

Bit of a druggie they reckon.

VAT gets interesting when it comes to very low value purchases.


Hundreds and thousands are liable to standard rate VAT at 15%.


A strict reading of the VAT legislation means that:


[A] the sale of one hundred and thousand at one penny including tax incurs a VAT liability of one penny,


the sale of one hundred and thousand at one penny excluding tax incurs a VAT liability of one penny.


Not many people know that.




Edited: to remove the stupid B in parenthesis smiley Admin has implemented.

I remember when it was all hundreds and thousands, it's billions everywhere you look nowadays.

I could understand a hundred and a thousand, but a billion is like some strange number that is just completely random and could mean anything.

Like the people who have three numbers, one, two and many.

    • My wife has been complaining about this actually; we are on Crawthew Grove, it started a few years back, then seemed to stop, starting up again circa last September. I'm normally at work around the time she hears it most - between 11pm and 2AM, but even when I'm home I just can't hear it, which she just can't believe, so I guess it depends how sensetive your hearing is... Would love to get to the bottom of it too!
    • Perhaps like Malumbu they compost their food waste?
    • Obviously, but they may be wrong. Not only are we coming up to another population renewal drop after the continuing effects of the baby bulge generation enter a trough,  - secondary schools are closing across many boroughs - but birth rates in the UK continue to fall (not just absolute births which are also falling as a function of the bulge unwind, but births per head). And foreign student numbers are also falling. Additionally the costs of being a student are rising, which encourages more students to go to universities close enough that they don't need accommodation but can live at home. Bubbles burst, and this may be one of them.
    • Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...
