Nope. There I was, about to pop the sprog, and it turned out just to be bad gas.

Oh and another thing. Whats the chances that retailers will put up their prices by a couple of %, so that the reduction in VAT does not get passed on to the customer?

Very high.

Mind you it's not a lot of money is it? about £10 for every £400 spent! It's not exactly going to set the world alight is it?

If it was down to me in a small shop I'm hardly going to go through every shop and change 'em.

Lots of systems and websites are going to need some changes to change this. It is like a little mini Y2K

Right now, I think retailers are desperate to drop prices and actually sell some stock.

Labour will take a shareholding in every business - anyone who does not comply will have 666 stamped on their forehead.
