We can all benefit, if we doh try to pretend to be big shotz when in reality some scaping and scrambling to make mortgage, while having new car every 2/3yrs, the best shtt for the kids, wifey chomping on strawberries in the evening watching mindless nonsense on the Samsung curve screen ting.

Make ah pigtail supp, pelt some onion on de sardine right in de tin and scoop out with crix and see how the bank balance will climb.

Question how do you maintain your light bill so low do you have AC?security cameras ?

[hover11]

When VAT is removed from Grocery items,All the business owners will do is raise the price so when the vat removed the price will remain the same and they making the same profit. Didn't that happen when vat moved from 15 to 12.5 percent ?
