    It it plain to see that there is no growth. The state of the economy is worse than in the 2008 recession. The figures are fiddled

      surprising in provincial towns how many shops are closed and how many high streets are filled with charity shops

      Which isn't a bad thing, I bought the rough guide to rome yesterday for 99p in unused condition with a list price of 12 quid

      Milan.
      I believe that there is now a new type of trading opening up on high streets in the UK, this was spotted in Stoke last Sunday:

      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          £2.50 for a blow job - that's a bargain

          And the carwash is halfway down the Princess Parkway going into Manc from the 56 - cos I drive past it every day

            Is it really still there? I used to live that way 18 years ago.

              That's $2.50, £ will be worthless after Brexit so this business owner only accepts hard currency

                  Yes although I am sure it used to be run by a bunch of black dudes and now it seems to be eastern europeans

                  which is fine - does seem that the eastern europeans have cornered the hand car wash market at least where I am!

                  they also now serve Broderick's coffee....
