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.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
