Re: We are being taken for mugs

Yeah, but three years of partying is a mighty long time to live high on the hog......back to normality would be a downer, but better than three years of staid boredomnessless.

Re: We are being taken for mugs

Did anyone download the excel spreadsheet attached to the Private Eye website page? Do it and then sort the columns for your area and then be truly disappointed in how many local buildings are owned offshore. Loads of pubs are owned by offshore companies and a high proportion of City Centre shopping...
