Don't know about anyone else but now Labour have cut VAT by 2.5% I'm going to go out and spend £800 on a 50 inch TV I don't really need cos at a saving of £20 how can you say no?
But at least I'll sleep well knowing I've helped the economy which will obviously no doubt be reciprocated in a year or so when I'm struggling.

Plus with that extra £20 quid I'll nip out and buy a new jumper, that way I'll never have to use the central heating...
