All Hail, The Economy is Saved ! That 2.5% In Full


Just another straw in the wind as 2.5%-off-VAT-day looms . . .



Mrs D and I occasionally patronise a well-known hotel chain. A day or so after the PBR, they wrote to us thus:


We will immediately be passing through the full 2.5% VAT reduction - book now !

Fair enough, very public-spirited of them; but wait, what's this ? Yesterday, they wrote to us again:

50% off all breaks - book now !

What will they be saying next week ? If we wait a bit, it will be cheaper to go and live there. Why would we book now ?

    You can afford to take breaks and stay in hotels? Are you deliberately trying to attract attention to yourself?
