We don't know how much the rags debt actually is, and we don't know what interest rate the banks have imposed, but if we assume debt of £800m and interest at 5% p.a. the following amusing calculation occurs.
Every year, the rags are paying £40m in interest alone.
Every day, that equates to £109,589. Every hour that equates to £4,566. Every minute that equates to £76 or £1.26 per second.
So, if you want to play a game which will will amuse you on your way home tonight, check out what time you leave work, and what time you get home, then multiply the number of minutes taken by £76 and you have got how much further the rags have gone into debt since you left work.
Or, click your fingers once, count to four and click them again. The rags lost a fiver in that time.
