So would the VP hierarchy not consider absorbing the additional posting requirements for the sake of those of us that are mathematically challenged like   redface:

When we bought this house and moved in, 10 years ago, the house cost £80k. The first thing I did was to buy 600 litres of heating oil @ 16.9 pence a litre

The house is now valued at £160k and this afternoon I ordered 600 litres of heating oil @ 65.7 pence a litre.

cussing:

How come the value of my property (assets) has gone up by 100% but the fecking fuel to heat it has risen by 400% and my income (pension) by only 15%?

Our first colour TV in the early 70's cost £500 or so and was delivered in a van that cost £500 or so.

Today a big flat screen TV costs £500 or so and is delivered in a van that cost about £20,000.

How does that fit the Snoopy model?
