# Actually
some of those items should be zero rated for VAT anyway.

# i thought that the whole point of pound shops
was that it took less time to pay, thereby reducing the amount of time spent per customer therefore reducing the amount of money spent on staff, therefore allowing for cheaper merchandise...

# ...but the VAT
is included in the pound.
So the actual price of the items is 85p, with the 15p as VAT (give or take .1p or so).

# VAT is applicable to
all of them except the food, I think.

The news paper might be exempt, I know books are.

# Two nurses discussing a patient

Nurse1: "That chap in that bed has 'ludo' tattoed on his thingy..."

Nurse2: "No, it's Llandudno"

Nurse1 looks at Nurse2

[edit] Too subtle for you?

The parient has a Llandudno tattoe. The first nurse didn't see it because he didn't have an errection.
