Thin Cows

In such a period of economic crisis and of very poor sales in my shop - and when you think business could not get any worse - I get assaulted by the news of another increase in interest rates.

It is now 15% per annum.

In a country where a great majority of people has mortgages to pay, this is some piece of bad news.

Some South-African authority - not sure who that was yet - has asked the population to "tighten the belt" even further...

Now, that was a really bad joke with the retail industry, my man!
