"It's very easy to show income value"

On the contrary, it's horrendously difficult. What about the profit on the spoonful of sugar that goes into the cup of tea a Japanese tourists buys on the plane on his way to Stonehenge?

Thanks for letting me know your opinion Nigel. I doubt that we'll ever find any common ground on this. It's been a useful conversation. Thanks!
