    Parker assures me it's one of the drinkable brands!

    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    Other than the famous grouse they are all very drinkable - just non-scots seem to have weak throats & stomachs
    There once was a scotsman named Drew
    Who put too much wine in his stew
    He felt a bit drunk
    And fell off his bunk
    And landed smack into his shoe

    Here is an item from the business section of the Evening Standard.
    Do any club members wiish to comment?



    Good vibes for SSL as sex toys get a recession boost

    DUREX condoms maker SSL International today reported a 31.4% jump in profits as cashstrapped couples stayed in, sparking soaring demand for sex toys and massage gels during the recession.
    Chief executive Garry Watts said Durex condoms sold particularly well in the UK and Eastern Europe as well as in China and Russia, where it is looking to expand.

    Funnily enough, I was writing about this the other day, but without the entendres. Makes perfect sense to me, as does the thought of smart money getting into baby products for the forthcoming baby boom.

    Recessionary times are good for sex, and with so many married couples forced to have sex with each other, it opens up two distinct markets: birth control and lack of birth control.

    Great spot Brian!

    Always good to go to the business section when you want the hard news.

    So basically another Baby Boom?
    Except of course ( I think) the Baby Boom , last time happened before the pill and vasectomies.

    Edit : ok Im am wrong I just did a little search the history of Birth control is fascinating! I don't know why we didn't get taught this intresting bit at school instead of the boring bits!
    http://www.vasectomy-information.com...fo/history.htm
    http://www.obgyn.net/pillturns40/history.htm
    lots of links to intresting articles in there.

    Small one, yes.

    We've been in recession here for a year and birth rates are already at the highest level for many years.

    I've seen that before, very good one!



    It's a bit like the bloke who asked why all the brothels note rear parking in their ads.

    Finally, a repeatable and sustainable market besides soap!

    Up the recession!
