UK to become ‘moneyless’ economy

BRITAIN is to take the idea of the cashless economy a step further by becoming a moneyless economy, George Osborne has announced.

No more Nectar points

The chancellor said his policies meant that using credit and debit cards instead of cash had been superseded by the even simpler process of having no money at all and scavenging to survive.

Osborne said: In the cashless economy you still had to pay your credit card bill or remember your PIN, but now all youll need is a weapon to fight off people trying to steal your bag of roadkill.

The tedious ritual of doing a big weekly shop will be a thing of the past, because instead youll be trying to catch squirrels in the park, or making a winter coat with your mum’s cocker spaniels.

Moneyless payment methods such as performing sexual favours also mean you wont have to worry about credit card expiry dates or the embarrassment of having your card refused.

And while its easy to go out without your wallet, you cant go out without your arse.

The Federation of British Retailers said more shoppers were choosing not to pay with cash or cards, instead opting to brandish a screwdriver as they stuffed their pockets with food before running off.

Middle-class mum Donna Sheridan said: Fortunately my ridiculous BMW 4×4 is the size of a Panzer tank, so Ive been able to do plenty of ram-raiding in time for Christmas.

Interns planning to be monstrous once they have power

UNPAID workers spend most of their time imagining how vile they will be to other interns once they get promoted, it has emerged.

“The ones who patronised me hardest will die first”

The university graduates are making their menial tasks bearable with detailed role-reversal fantasies about sending someone to four different places for one lunch order.

Intern Carolyn Ryan, on her way from Subway to Pret, muttered: Ill be all like Your role on this project is to keep the client happy, and if that means a 25-minute walk to Barburrito so be it.

’We didnt give you the right money? Put an expenses form through, itll be with you by the end of next month.

’Oh, Ill need you to hang around after the presentation. Wait for my call, though if were taking them to dinner that might not be until 10pm.'”

Julian Cook, working unpaid for a TV production company, said: I am going to ride those interns so fucking hard.

The first project I give them I wont even look at. The second Ill review in half an hour even though its a months work.

And the third Ill rip off the best bits and claim they were mine while theyre sitting right there, then tell them theyve learnt the most important lesson of all before firing them on the spot.

Now all I have to do is get a job.
