is drinking more profitable than banking.

If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it
would now be worth £4.95, with HBOS, earlier this week your £1000
would have been worth £16.50, £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now
be worth less than £5, BUT if you bought £1000 worth of beer one year
ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling
plant, you would get £214.
So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is
to drink heavily and re-cycle.

are we heading for prohibition??

Think of all those people who fall for the council scam of conning them into "donating" things like beer cans and bottles etc so the council can sell them on for profit, even worse for those that actually pay council tax! Not only that, where I live the main recycling centre is only a couple of hundred yards away from a scrapyard and I`ve seen people with loads of cans in their cars drive right past it to give them to the council instead! I mean where`s the sense in that? :confused:

I honestly didnt know you could sell your recycling stuff..

The idea of lifetime profit is funny. Most old people sit there with nothing and wonder where it all went and what it was all for. And so will most from the present generation. So you keep slaving away to 'get ahead' because it's a fool's errand.
