Clearly these guys aren't SimV members and didn't take any good advice ;D

Somerfield has launched an inquiry after video clips of people performing stunts wearing the firm's uniform were posted on the internet.
The clips, on the YouTube website, allegedly feature staff of the supermarket chain "skiving" from work.
The antics include a man balancing on a beam in a store room, another riding on a floor cleaner and somebody racing round a car park on a pallet lifter.
Somerfield said it was "looking into the incidents".
The clip was posted after one Somerfield worker wrote on the video-sharing site: "I declare the underground YouTube Somerfield competition open to all Somerfield staff", trade magazine The Grocer reported.
The aim of the contest was to "give all senior management the finger", the message said.
In one clip, a youth appears to hit his head on an air-conditioner unit after 'skiing' on a box, being pulled along by an electric floor cleaner.
Another, showing a worker dancing, is labelled "We Somerfield lot really do get paid to do nowt".
And a video called "Somerfield massive" shows an alleged employee walking along a beam, while another shows a worker racing around a car park on a pallet lifter.
Another clip is a spoof advert for the chain.
It features a man dressed in Somerfield uniform, ignoring somebody trapped under a trolley, swearing at customers and pushing them into a display pile of kitchen roll.
A Somerfield spokeswoman said "We are looking into the incidents and will take any necessary action where appropriate."
YouTube, which Google bought in November last year for $1.65bn, claims clips on its site are viewed 100 million times every day.

Wow how did our videos get out :-X
LOL actually even my store isn't that bad. ;D

Serves them right! I have no patience for taggers. It's a crime. Period. If these punks, and taggers in general, are so driven to put their "artwork" on everything, why don't they buy some cardstock in big sizes, put some "street art" on it and sell it. They will find out right quick if they have any talent or not. That is the constructive way to do things. But then taggers ain't too constructive, are they? I wonder why they do it at all. Are they so desperate for some sort of attention that they will destroy other people's property for some sort of supposed immortality? I never did anything like this when I was a kid. A friend and I broke a bunch of windows on a few abandoned barracks at the Walla Walla, WA air base in the early 1960s. I was five or six, I think-- maybe seven. My dad and his 48" belt taught me later that evening that I should not have done that. A few more whoopin's in the following years as I grew from kid to adolescent to teen taught me that there are consequences to what you do in life. I must have learned well because the greatest legal infraction of my entire life is a reckless driving ticket from way back in 1989. My dad has not had to put the cowhide to my posterior since 1971...

Yes, that is right, its a delicate balance i suppose, it has been exactly the other way around a few years ago with the dollar-euro exchange.

The most important thing is to make sure it doesnt rise or drop quikly, but rather steady. Otherwise you could get a multiplier effect wich could cause some serious trouble.
