PM unhappy
at another leak
There's more egg on the face of the Prime Minister Tony Blair following
the leak of yet another memo. The memo was written by Peter Gould, one
of the PM's closest advisors and expressed Mr Gould's fears that New Labour
was crap and would loose loads of seats at the next General Election.
A spokesperson for Mr Gould said, "Mr Gould is a close advisor to
Mr Blair and he is going to suggest that Mr Blair does everything in his
powers to divert attention away from this damaging leak. He will advise
him to declare war on Russia and appoint Lady Thatcher as leader of the
War Office".
M&S
sales up- or are they?
Sales
at Marks and Spencer stores in Britain have risen 6% in the first four
months of the financial year and say that credit card transactions now
account for more than 10% of all trade. This means that sales are actually
down 4% if you look at it from the point of view that people using their
credit cards aren't actually buying the goods but borrowing them from
their credit card company - or if you take the 10% as a whole against
total sales then M&S are trading at 90%. Add this figure to the retail
price index and deduct VAT and we reckon that Marks and Spencer owe us
all £3.27.
Another
party for Queen Mum
Another day and another party for the Queen Mum who
should be 100 if she makes it to her next birthday. The latest party is
taking place today in London, of all places. A spokesperson for the Queen
Mother said, "The Queen has two birthdays every year so why shouldn't
the Queen Mum have more than one party. The chances are she won't be having
many more". Guest of honour at the party will be the Queen Mother's
pet corgis who will do a ceremonial pee on a specially made cake".

UK 100 index
The UK 100 index closed down six points following the
Chancellor's speech but is expected to rise sharply again this morning
now that he has shut up.
CORRECTION
Sorry about yesterday's correction. We seemed
to have had a visit by the gremlins. Rentakill has been in and sprayed
the place, so we should be OK today.
