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!

If you had bought £3,000 of Rio Tinto shares last July they would be worth £3,500 today - that is a drop of £200 from a month ago but still better than premium bonds

What people only walk 2.5 miles a day not a bit of wonder heart disease is on the rise , they must be the ones with a car . I`m sure I do 10 miles easy , no wheels . Might just get one of those things that records the distance just to see .
