So here's my reasoning.
- There are 60 million people in the UK
- Roughly 50% are women
- That's £30,000,000,000 (30 million x £1000 = £30billion)
- If the ladies of the UK bought 70% less clothes and saved themselves £700 a year that's a saving of £21,000,000,000 = £21billion
- Save that and banks are recapitalised (sort of)
- Easy.
PS: Please have a sense of humour

Actually the savings could be much greater.
Suppose 2/3 of those women are in a relationship with a man. Now suppose 2/3 of those men dare make your suggestion to their partner.
What you would then see is a sudden reduction in the male population of about 14 million. That reduction should save the economy far more than £21 billion and what is more the reduction in hot air emissions will save the environment as well.
Good idea, we should draw up some more policies along these lines and present them to the Treasury.
