Confusion As Entire Country Does Not Move Into Town Centre
A spokesman for the Icelandic government today announced that the entire country was not packing up and relocating to empty local Woolworths stores.
Prime Minister Geir Haarde’s aide Olaaf Davesson re-iterated earlier statements that the country, and it’s population, was staying put.
“I am as acutely aware as the rest of Europe,” said Davesson, “that the Icelandic economy has not been brilliant of late. But Iceland is a rich and diverse icy nation, and we won’t be moving into ex-Woolies stores any time soon. Especially now the free pick’n'mix has gone.”
A press officer for the country said, “You appear to have confused our great nation with a shit frozen food chain. For shame!”
As for the pick’n'mix, Davesson said that he was unaware you had to pay. People helping themselves to the sweets is said to be the main reason the hundred-year-old retailer closed down.
