    Plans to get the people spending again.

    A new initiative has been launched by the Government this week to start consumers spending again.

    The Government has hired an army of attrative twenty something girls to wander around supermarket wearing nothing but a short coat, some tights and high heels. They are instructed to 'touch their toes' at random points around the shop.

    The Government is hoping that as word spreads - the shops will fill up again.

    As a follow up to the intiative the Government has flipped the idea of 'Tax Relief' and introduced a new 'Relief Tax' by imposing a 100% rate of VAT on Pot Noodles and Kleenex.

    The scary thing is, in reality this would probably be more successful than knocking 2.5% off VAT...

      It didn't work... they'd run out of Panini’s.

      It was nice browsing though.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
