Makes me thing about... but rather it a conversation between Dave and Georgie boy:


[Blackadder is informed that a German spy is stealing battle plans]
General Melchett: You look surprised, Blackadder.
Captain Blackadder: I certainly am, sir. I didn't realise we had any battle plans.
General Melchett: Well, of course we have! How else do you think the battles are directed?
Captain Blackadder: Our battles are directed, sir?
General Melchett: Well, of course they are, Blackadder, directed according to the Grand Plan.
Captain Blackadder: Would that be the plan to continue with total slaughter until everyone's dead except Field Marshal Haig, Lady Haig and their tortoise, Alan?
General Melchett: Great Scott! Even you know it!

Your point being what? There are probably plenty of wealthy Brits buying properties in Greece now that the economy and prices have tanked.
Its the reason you're still poor, DP, you're not the sharpest tool in the box.

If it helps we are all totally convinced that you living outside the UK is a good thing

Yeah, the weak pound makes buying foreign property the bargain of the century.
