| Average British mileage - made me smile. | |
one of those facts we should be proud of
If you had purchased £1,000 worth of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have £49.00 today.
If you had purchased £1,000 worth of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have £33.00 today.
If you had purchased £1,000 worth of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have £0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased £1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminium
cans for recycling refund, you would have received a £214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
A recent study found that the average Briton walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found that Britons drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means that, on average, Britons get about 41 miles to the gallon!
Makes you proud to be British, doesn't it? ..................................... "On first name terms with my local Dealer......now."
