    if you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have £49.00 today.
    If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in AIG insurance company one year ago, you would have £33.00 today.
    If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers five years ago, you would have nothing today.
    If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Northern Rock three years ago, you would have nothing today
    But, if you had purchased £1,000 worth of beer one year ago at Tesco's, drunk all the beer, then taken the aluminium cans to the scrap metal dealer, you would have received £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!!
    ps.
    Statistics show 25% of women in this country are on medication for mental illness..

    Thats scary...........75% of them are running about with no medication at all..!!
