Slightly long but worth remembering! If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Brittish Airways one year ago, you would have £29.00 today. If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have £33.00 today. If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Arcadia Group one year ago, you would have £0.00 today. If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Thomas Cook three years ago, you would have £0.00 today. But, if you had purchased £1,000 worth of beer one year ago at Beer Hawk, drank all the beer, then send the empty kegs back, you would have received around £160.00 in beer tokens. Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. A recent study found that the average Brit walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Brits 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.
