:-( It's all a bit shite really isn't it?

A good old war economy.

Indeed. But what was odd is that it was reported as if this was some great insight from the IMF. I mean, really?

Not read the article yet, but it sounds like they've been obliged to make some sort of statement and pointing out the bleedin' obvious happens to come from the mouths of their spokespeople.

I wonder how much money was spent on that 'research'.

Actually, Moss Bros could potentially do well enough - you should be buried in a suit after all, right?

But does anyone buy a suit for the occasion these days?

Hell's teeth, I rented a suit to get married in, but I expect that Moss Bros would baulk at that for attending one's own funeral.

Especially if you're going to be cremated.
