    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.




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

    It was nice browsing though.

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