Mr RR was listening to the radio about 3 weeks ago, where an economist was suggesting, that to help the economy survive, the government should give every adult £1200 each to buy whatever they want. It must be spent within a certain time limit or you lose it, you absolutely cannot save it.
What would you buy?
I think I’d blow it on a couple of very nice meals out and get a new laptop.
Giving every adult £1200 would cost approx £63b. This would have to be repaid somehow (on top of all the other Govt coronavirus handouts). Where did this ‘economist’ get his degree from; the university of Ugglebarnaby?
I'd like a new ipad and a new TV, but if it has to be British made, then I would buy new containers for the garden and fill them with locally grown plants. I'd also go out for a meal in an independent restaurant and buy a subscription to our local newspaper. I really must do that anyway.
I’d put it towards the Lego Disney castle and after I had built it I would sell it on FB and buy the Lego Fishing Shack and then just keep on building and selling (in reality, I’d give it to the kids).
