the greatest shortcoming of humanity is that they do not understand percentage.

the govt would not allow this pricing method tho.

not so fast.

the VAT exempt items will be assessed at 12% during the month of July, so if one buys enough of those for one month, they are saving 4.5%, even if they put on a credit card, there is still savings.

But people were really shopping for things that are not vat-exempt, as the merchant will shift their costs to those.

I bought some items with the following conditions: not vat exempt, was on sale, is non perishable.

and i got enough tune for the cat for one month.

That is like those banks who foreclose to victimize the client who was bringing the money to pay on Friday the 30th at 4:25 pm and had a flat tire.

Not his fault, the arrears would have been paid if he had not had that flat time 5 minutes before closing time.

ok, let me guess, someone operated this boat with no maintenance, no attention to safety procedures.

everybody around there knew it, but hey no one said nothing because the operator is a saint on earth and needs to make a living.

the only reason he did not fix the boat is because the vat went to 12%

then some plp troll is going to sue the govt and then call for the resignation of the minister of transport.

yes, in the past I used to work for monty python.

sorry, it is tragic.

yes it is the end of time, sheeprunner and birdie agreed.

they rented the blue suits from seatless plp mps.

they will do their best to keep us in darkness.

I do not see why the concern about privacy.

There is no privacy in the Bahamas.

One time I was gossiping to two individuals about a trouble making neighbour-- telling the truth, so it was not libel. One individual replied ;"He goes to the office where my sister works, he has diabetes, that is why he is miserable". The other one said: "He dates my aunt and he is a miser". I found that quite plausible.

But I say this to say the following: every time you present some documents at a govt office, a doctor's office, or a bank, it is quite plausible an employee will make comments to others about those documents as soon as you leave. " Look here, the tribune blogger just bought hemorroid ointment."

Now it is just going to be published on facebook.

She was speeding and not wearing a seat belt.

don't run with scissors.

Well it appears there are only three dozen lots available anyway, surely they can find three dozen civil servants.

This will be another "mortgage relief".

But the three dozen will eventually flip the homes.

Upon reflection the govt realised this could only be available to those who have salary to deduct.

but I am irked that this will be another privilege given to civil servants only.
