I was just about to order another batch of Horny Goat Weed supplements, when a friend suggested I should try a British site .  When I Googled it I found this list on the firms website.  They started off with rival supplement firms then drifted off into an entire list.  Some of them I didn't know.

It's how the pound survives with a constant deficit in the balance of trade. It has been a long time since financial services made up the deficit - now Sterling is propped up by the sale of assets. If it wasn't happening the pound would be worth jack.
