    Just when you think the road will run out someone lays more tarmac.

                  That'll be boomers and your generation selling off our nation's assets then.

                  Is that why they call them gold plated pensions (suck it up snowflakes).

                  Still the snowflakes can have a gold iPhone I suppose.

                    You need to look at the gold price in the preceding month before Gordon told everyone he would like to dump his gold on the market to raise money...
