That the barber shops were being run by Albanian gangs, as multiple new shops were opening in small villages where just 2/3 longer standing barbers were never 100% full booked.

Could be I suppose, a way of laundering drug money.

 

Not my field of expertise of course.

When you've got as little as me, the only money laundering I do is when I've left money in my pockets and it's been in the washing machine.

That's the problem with the "plastic " £5 note , when you inadvertently wash it it shrinks and comes out as £ 2:50 .

I wash 90% of my clothes at 60c.

It'd probably be only fit for dolls houses 😉

So the BOE have decided to follow the standard grind people to dust to control inflation route  🤔🤔 Shame  they didn’t warn Sunak or the population that the actions at the time of the then Chancellor was gonna have extremely serious repercussions. How did anyone think printing billions to pay for covid would have anything other than disastrous consequences upon Health, Education, Interest rates, Inflation etc etc 

I don’t even see how it can be a surprise to anyone  including even the most vociferous of covid warriors.

Oh sorry, I thought you meant the fiver was only worth £2:50.
