If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95, with HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50, £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5, but if you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214.
So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.
This is pretty good, I thought maybe it would be the old "Bankers can't leave a deposit on a BMW/Lambo/Ferrari but pigeons can" joke. Which I have heard to death, but this is original!
