Thanks Darling!! You've totally f*cked christmas.

It seems a pre-budget report is actually a mini-budget so we should really find a different name for being totally reamed by our erstwhile Chancellor.

Pre christmas dry ass-f*ck?
Yuletide back door Surprise?

I am reminded of an old gem we used regularly in a our selling bunker many years ago. "BOHICA" ....Bend Over, Here it Comes Again. It seems awfully apt as in less than an hour on Monday Darling turned everyone's end of month sales forecast paperwork to recycling.

Why? Simple....If you have a customer due to place an order for £250k this week and they can't claim the VAT back (The NHS can't) why on earth would they place the order now? Waiting a week saves them £6,250. Result, that's £243,750.00 we won't see till the 2nd week of January.

The knock on effects of this are commission lost for sales people, cashflow issues for us as a business and it serves only to further diminish spending power at christmas.

Thankyou Darling.

PS: What the hell is going on with those eyebrows? He looks extremely shifty.
