It's worse than you think over here.
There's talk about banning buying more than two drinks at a time, as well as queuing Post-Office style with those barriers they have, in an attempt to prevent trouble.
All those to tight-fisted to get a round in will be loving it, but I'm not happy.

You are a bitter old man, aren't you?
People who take pleasure from other's misfortune dismay me.

The sterling has been heavily overvalued for the last 15 years so stop whining and take the bitter medicine.
Its already been taken and the pound will come back and stomp over the Euro as per usual. We have plenty of debt, yeah, but at least its our own and not piled into eastern bloc ponzi garbage like all those Euros that the Jerrys & co lent out.Originally Posted by lom

Stomp with what, what can UK export to pay of its debt?Originally Posted by Spin
Who can afford to import it if the sterling is so over appreciated by the financial markets that your goods becomes price wise uncompetitive?
After Thatcher closed down your mining industry, what other natural resources do you have that rightify (sp?) a strong sterling?
And also milk is up 9 baht a half gallon too, and the baht is 304. terrible son of a bitch.
^^^ Too much attention is payed to coal, fuck coal, we can make more money selling nuclear knowledge than that shit. The UK still leads the world in many areas including pharma, technology, munitions etc etc. The Uk will be fine, albiet in the latter half of next year.
The uks housing industry needs to correct, due to demand consistantly outstripping supply during normal economic cycles values will remain high, unlike the US. This will help support sterling.
Sterling was down something like 25-30% across the board, its recently rose about 7% against most currencies, due to the fact the beating it had taken factored in armegeddon in the financial industry which now seems to be off the table but still in ICU.Originally Posted by lom

What I meant was that when I used to brew mi own in Uk in the 70s we used Glucose + barley
This is the natural way of making beer, no sugars (artificial)
And you don't even want to know about U.K. price of beer: a lot of pubs are selling 3 per cent strengh ale at up to 3 pound a pint.And we complain about LOS prices?
Yeah, because I expect this place to be dirt cheap, if it isnt then what the hell am i doing here. Its a tatty third world environment, I'll happily pay high prices in the uk becuase the place is pristine, not a dusty ramshackle gaff like ThailandOriginally Posted by crippen
Speak for yourself mate. My gaff ain't bad!Originally Posted by Spin
Aaah, but Spin wasn't talking about pub prices but 7-11 prices to drink at home. When I was back in UK, I found pubs really expensive, but a lot of supermarket booze really cheap.Originally Posted by crippen
