This sounds familiar :

So its Flossy not Scottie after all.

Classic Blackadder

Ah, it's a typo in his username then

It should be ScootlerScot (needs to be read in a Glasgae accent).

You can spend a whole day in Llandudno?

Thought it would be tough for you; did you dress up as a sheep?

This sounds familiar :

L: Lord Melchett, we meet again.

M: No, I don't think we've had the pleasure...

L: You do not recognise me, then?

M: No...

L: Let me refresh your memory. You remember when you were in Cornwall; at the
monastery, there was an old shepherd with whom you used to talk.

M: Good Lord! Dimkins?

L: Yes! I was one of his sheep.

M: One of his sheep? Not...?

L: Yes!

M: Flossy?

L: Yes!

M: But didn't we...? (waves his hands in an exchanging fashion)

L: Yes, Lord Melchett! BBBAAAAA!

M: Oh my God!

Funny you should say that, but the Old Man was there for a Little Bo Peep gig.

You can't kid me, that's not Welsh. There's nowhere near enough l, y, f and c's in there.

LondonManc has been suspicious of Abroad ever since he was short-changed while on a day trip to Llandudno.

Wow you really have a rub with exotic expats living the dream don't you?

The dream? You do nothing but complain all week. I'll stick with staying awake if that's the dream.

What's this "we", mein herr?

I'd argue not printing money would be better in the longer term. Got to wonder what position we'd be in today if no QE every occurred.

Inflation might come from the increase in price in imports, but you're right about QE.

[scooterscot]

You might find that we can inflate our way out of this, unlike Eurozone members.

So when is the UK going to call in the IMF this time? Time to press the reset button...

Hopefully all the British working abroad will not be allowed home.

Cheer up Germany has lots of new cheap labour thanks to Merkel.

[The_Equalizer]

The cost of imports (whether raw materials, finished goods, or cheap EU labour for food packaging the like) increases at a rate faster than employers are willing to increase wages. The evidence for this is already on the wall, in real terms wages have not increased in the last 8 years. The only way spending can be maintained is to borrow. The end station is not pretty. It is better to accept a drop in living standards instead. Which is probably what the Tories want anyway.

So we'll not got to worry about freezing to death yet and not do all the food shopping in M&S. Anyway, according to you Sterling would be at parity with the Euro by Christmas.
