The Political Compass

This is circulating Facebook and is quite interesting insomuch as it expands upon the traditional left > right linear line of political ideas. The site which hosts the questionnaire provides some fascinating analysis and looks at historical party placement too. Well worth a read. I took the test and...

Re: Poundland to buy out 99p stores

I often wondered where these £1 shops manage to get their Duracell batteries? Back in the 90s, they didn't look as if they were the genuine article, sometimes packaged in generic packaging. Would you like to know what I paid for Energizer or Duracell Procell Brand AA/AAA batteries when I supplied t...

Re: Poundland to buy out 99p stores

I used to spend a lot of time at trade wholesalers. You'd be staggered at the quantity and breadth of products which sold for 35p - not just moulded plastic soap dishes and the like - you could buy a 3m telephone extension cord for that price and sell it for £1.99. Keep in mine that was a wholesale ...

Labour may be the Scots' least-worst option for UK government, but that shouldn't be confused as an appetite by any...

Re: 2015 UK Election

The talk is, Torys migh get the most seats JUST, with labour coming second, but the maths would work out for Lab / SNP / Lib dems Goverment.

Do you have a massive wiener or have I come out of retirement for nothing?
