......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.

That's strange because in the US RHD cars are very much sought after.

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???
