Wiggle's free gifts

Just got a pair of Castelli Body Paint shorts today from Wiggle and
the freebie was a measly bag of Haribos. A far cry from the bottle
openers you used to get, I thought they'd sent something better
considering the price of those shorts.

I wore them to work yesterday and they are by far the most comfortable
shorts I have ever worn and about half the price of Assos gear.

What a cheek!
The VAT on those shorts was 30 quid which is more than I have paid in
petrol for two weeks.

Crikey - 5 hours work for you.

Simple Simon Mason - who cycles at 25mph in 20mph limits just because the limits do not apply to cyclists.
This includes exceeding the speed limit past three schools. A total disregard for the well-being of vulnerable road users.
The actions of a true psycholist.

And why is that in any way relevant? Or are you expecting a free gift
from the government, which is where that £30 goes?

You really know what sort of person you're dealing with when they
complain about something that's FREE.

Apparently there are some drivers that believe that the tax on fuel
and VED somehow goes to pay for the roads directly.
They don't realise that it all goes into one big pot like the VAT on
my shorts does.
I wasn't really complaining as such, it was just a comment that the
freebies seem to be getting less creative than they were 10 years ago.

No, its the majority of drivers - and they are correct in believing it
should.

Stolen by the Guvmint.


What a wonderful grasp of economics you have. How much does the average
European earn a week?
