A leading business expert claimed something was "bad for business" and was costing the UK an estimated £1 billion pounds per day. They said "this whatever it is, is really bad for business, and it's costing business an estimated £1 billion per day". When pressed as to how the £1 billion figure was arrived at, the spokesman gazed into the middle distance, then pointed and shouted "Look. Madonna!", using the momentary confusion this caused to make his escape.
These latest claims come hard on the heels of other recent blows to business, each of which have cost business equally huge sums of money. Sickness, absenteeism, most kinds of weather, the minimum wage, maternity leave, the education system, the UK's Time Zone, red tape, not being in the Euro, continued membership of the EU, leaving the EU, the maximum working week, toilets breaks, smoke breaks, the smoking ban, the internet, all social media,especially Facebook, traffic jams, late trains, the Tube (London Only), Health and Safety legislation, political correctness, planning regulations, lightly reheated blog posts, the Banks, product labelling, skirt lengths, the metric system, recycling requirements and "everything" have all been blamed for something.
One leading economist, commenting on these claims said "I wish these fuckers would just shut their miserable, gurning cakeholes"
