Robert Paterson, as quoted by London Banker.

A very Happy Christmas, S, to you and your family.
A very happy Christmas to you and yours, HG.
Buon Natale, Sackerson.
And also to you, Welshcakes. I haven't written my Christmas cards, yet, either. Best wishes to you for 2009.
The government might have a useful part to play in ensuring the country produces enough calories to feed the population, however higher quality foodstuffs should be traded for.
Also most food spoils quickly, so JiT is very productive.
Hi, ACO. Most GOOD food spoils quickly. Half the foodstuffs on the supermarket shelves appear to consist of corn starch and glucose. Perhaps a national survival strategy is to store a million tons of Twinkies in a disused mine. Or to extend the growing liberties under euthanasia law so the rich can eat the poor, who tend to be fat.
