Now this is why I keep saying you don't want to believe in polls, or at least question polls, because if you listen to Greg there a moment ago, the sentiment in America is at record lows.
You know, if you bring up your average American, it's the same all over the world at the moment with the war, or what was the war.
You know, is it a good time to buy a large household appliance?
Oh no, the war's on.
You know, are you feeling a bit down in the dumps?
Oh no, the war's on.
And yet retailers in America...
added 22,000 jobs just in April alone.
So that was one fifth of all the jobs created were in retail.
Now, why do retailers hire people for jobs?
Because they're selling more.
How do they sell more?
People turn up with a wallet and they buy stuff.
But you ask them, oh, is it a good time to buy?
No, the war's on.
So the two don't dovetail.
Facts don't lie.
