Joke Thread 5

The recent budget has caused real damage to my local economy…..


A local bra manufacturer has gone bust
a submarine company has gone under,
a manufacturer of food blenders has gone into liquidation,
a dog kennel has had to call in the retrievers and a company supplying paper for origami enthusiasts has folded.

Our local strip club has gone **** up,
Interflora is pruning its business and Dyno-rod has gone down the drain.

The saddest one though is the ice cream van man found dead covered in nuts and raspberry sauce. He couldn't take it any more and topped himself

I suspect it was a bit earlier than that. We had a VCR in about '76. The tapes were one hour and cost about £17 - no timer on the machine, which was top loading.

You may well be right, I was merely pointing out an earlier post on the subject.

Postal orders could be adjusted upwards in value, by having stamps affixed.

Yes...presumably still can? (In fact, do they still exist?)

The cheque stamps were literally stamp "duty"....think it finished just after decimalisation, 71-ish...
