Hi All

80 Mill would be about 640 mill in todays money.

I paid tax in 1980 and it was monet well spent...... look at what the white
elephants the goverment is spending money on today!!!!!!!

Like the Dome, how much was that. Thet delorean factory did not have railway
built to get workers there.

..to which some would retort that that is "today" money.. what would
the £80 million be today?

AND even if you could retort with this they'd no doubt turn round and
say...

"Well JZD is still in prison so it's different"

Because they don't listen.

Ever.
