  • It was packed, people buying TVs, computers, tablets. I gave a quick fist pump n thrust at the sight of hard working families splashing the cash. :beer:

    Thanks. These scenes are being repeated the up and down the length and breath of this great country much to the chagrin of those renter class HPC goons. We got the recovery locked in so I will be doing an extra groin thrust at next weekends homeowners party. Back off the net.

    Not a lot but when you make millions and employ millions every bit of hard currency makes a difference.

    1.3bn US$ BOT surplus so far this year.
    So does it help the UK economy?

    Which country does the majority of that money go to?

    Of course it does.

    The notion that an import from China is a bad thing for the UK economy is rather silly.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Exactly.

    It's usually the Daily Mail readers who come up with those kind of statements.

    are you sure they were splashing the cash , or was it a case of stick it on the plastic and then worry about how to pay for it later or if we can actually afford it , if this was the case then instead of fist pumping i suggest a bit of face palming instead, as wage rises have been scarce , a big rise in the cost of living , i would suggest that this may be the case
