Post subject:  Council-speak

We have a "heritage centre" centre in town, ive just read the council leaders comments on it....

"Last year we lost around £10,000, but profits are up 3 times on the previous financial year"

and theres me think a loss wasnt a profit, ive been doing it wrong such a long time!

"we have about £100,000 in reserves"

I wanna know how, if I lost £10K a year, and that was "three time better" and had £100K left id be a bit confused.....

Usually when they are talking about losses it is referring to a loss on profit from the year before :wink:
