......Tony Blair and all the other Muppets in the labour party......

Have you checked the exchange rate on the euro and the dollar?:roll:

Really makes it possible to import a nice car or that special rare part.

(NOT FORGETTING OUR MARVELOUS BANKS[-x ....they've really helped aswell)

And the worst thing is that Gordon was quoted by an analyst as saying that he is not even bothered about the falling £ against the euro and that it might well fall farther.

God I love Boris :d

Hmmm...I'm sitting here rather smugly having shelled out my hard earned in the summer of 2007 when the dollar was 2.05 to the pound:d

That nice Mr. Brown is even paying me to stay at home although I do hope he'll do something about the exchange rate before Hessisch.:?

I will try to curtail in my happyness about the exchange rate, for the sake of this thread. Christmas in the UK was cheap for me anyway.

It's a sad of state of affairs, but there's a 30 year legacy of Conservative and Labour party misdemeanours that have led us down this path of Sterling worthlessness.

Should people really be asking £25k (or £14.5k for that matter) for a Split with post 1967 Beetle rear wings???! How can people get restorations so wrong???
