PURPLE LOVE WEEK 09

Here at Thyme we are getting ready to take part in this years Purple Love Week. For 2009 the organisers, Olives Et Al, have decided that this years theme will be to try and help the economy!

We’re all hacked off with the doom and gloom mongers telling us it’s bad. We know. So let’s actually do something to change the state of the nation and take us from boom and bust to Spend and Save.

Olives Et Al are running Purple Love Week to keep our shopkeepers shopkeeping, consumers consuming and suppliers supplying. In other words get us all back to what we should be doing.
GREAT! What’s the plan?
SIMPLE! Inject £100m over 22 days into local shops across Britain so they can pay their bills, their staff can pay theirs, you can pay yours, we can pay ours and we all keep the financial cogs moving...
BRILLIANT! What do you have to do?
Just spend £5. Five quid. A fiver. A Minnie Driver. Call it what you like but all you need to do is spend a fiver on yourself.

That fiver will then be spent 5 more times locally.

What have you got to lose? Oh, and if you want to see how spending a fiver puts £100m into the economy check out www.purpleloveweek.co.uk for the science bit.

Our planned events so far to give you even more reason to call in......
