Microsoft founder Bill Gates has advised the British Government to try resetting the economy in a bid to get it working again.
“Have you checked you’ve got the latest Windows 7 Service Pack installed?” he asked.
He went on to advise Chancellor George Osborne to reset the economy via the Start bar, which didn’t work.
Gates is on a whistle-stop tour of countries whose gross domestic product is worth less than the cash he has in his spending account.
“Mr Gates tried to show George how to bring up the Task Manager in a bid to close down parts of the economy that weren’t responding,” a Treasury insider told The News Grind.
“But it wasn’t working. The whole thing just froze and nothing the Chancellor tried to do seemed to get things working again.”
As a last resort the billionaire philanthropist showed Osborne how to force the economy to quit by pressing and holding the power button.
After his intervention, Gates hastily left the building mumbling “that should sort your problems out. Let me know if you need anymore help,” before switching off his mobile and going on a two-hour lunch break.
Minutes later the whole economy crashed again and could only be restarted in safe mode.
