Some wise investment advice...(?)

[TraceyHand]

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.

I actually thought the thread title was "Some wine investment advice" ... not far off actually

the phrase "one track mind" comes to mind

Can't help it - there are about 25,000 bottles of the stuff about 4 feet away

[TraceyHand]

that makes sense...given what I have about 4 feet away from me, does that excuse MY one track mind too?

Can't they get you a desk in an office instead of plonking you on top of the racks?

[TraceyHand]

who wants to be in an office when you could be surrounded by booze all day!?

[leehack]

Me, i don't go to the office if i want to be surrounded by booze, i just go and sit by the fridge instead. Saves petrol, reduces traffic and reduces my carbon footprint.

I think I want to know where Tracey buys her Stella.

Scrap alu. is about £850 per ton (as best I can tell).
1 ton is about 66,000 15g beer cans.

so each can is worth ~ 1.3p each.

So £214 is ~ 16,500 cans worth.

16,500 cans of beer for just £1,000 is only 6p each. Definitely a bargain.

alu.

That's just a coward's way to avoid a spelling mistake lol.

[Rich Brady]

That's the thing Mike she doesn't buy Premium Lager like Stella, she's drinking Tennants...

Her palette is obviously not as sophisticated as yours...

[TraceyHand]

LOL Mike

don't shoot the messenger

On the other hand, if I could get Stella at 6p a can, I'd be needing a full time membership to Alcoholics Anonymous!

(the OP did say Tennents Lager though )

[leehack]

Could you divulge where Tennents is 6p per can please?

Does Skol still exist?
