The £50 note

SUBJECT: £50.00
It's a slow day in a little east Norfolk town. The sun is beating
down,and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in
debt, and everybody lives on credit. On this particular day a rich
tourist from down south is driving through town. He stops at the hotel
and lays a £50 note on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms
upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.
As soon as the man walks upstairs, the owner grabs the note and runs
next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the £50 and runs down the street to repay his debt
to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the £50 and heads off to pay his bill at the
supplier of feed and fuel.
The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the £50 and runs to pay his debt
to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has
had to offer her "services" on credit.
The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the
hotel owner.
The hotel proprietor then places the £50 back on the counter so the
rich traveler will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, picks up the £50
bill, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money,
and leaves town.
No one produced anything. No one earned anything.
However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future
with a lot more optimism.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the British Government is
conducting business today..
