Time will tell :smile: . Through a different set of spectacles, the Hemline Index says Lisa's just-above-the-ankle skirt length means a crashing economy. (View Post)1 -

I think we remarked on that yesterday. One thing I note is that he is talking about "British born" rather than "British citizens" - as per usual hyping up the number of 'fore… (View Post)3
