Bad idea IMHO
To us more intelegent folk and people who are in business yes its a stupid idea.
(Only business' i can see which will benifit are the major corporate shops, as they can off set the admin alterations against the "improved" sales.)
But to the majority, the brain deads out there, the ones who bloody voted labour in, the 'general public' they think its a great idea.
Its like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey.
I got a much better idea, why not cut fuel duty, IMHO i think it would benifit more people. as fuel price effects virtually everything.
