Reply to: The 90p Euro has arrived...

I think it was either on News 24 or The Andrew Marr Show yesterday when one interviewee was saying how Brown is thinking of quitting as PM next year because of the complete tulip he's made of the economy.

He knows its all downhill for the next decade and doesn't want to be involved in the clean up or for that matter the adoption of the Euro.

Rats deserting a sinking ship comes to mind.

Next stop 1 : 1.

There would be no excuse for adopting the euro then.

why did the buyer accept an offer in GBP and not Euros? guess they must be British?

I misworded it slightly.

They have put an offer in in Euros, it has been agreed but the more this goes on the more GBP they have to throw towards it.

And sorry if the mother-in-law jibe wasn't obvious enough

[Sysman]

Oh dear, someone hasn't got the mother-in-law joke

He's worried he won't be able to get rid of her!

I can see it now. Pressure to support the in-laws financially during the downturn, with the threat that otherwise they'll come and stay with you.

Oh, and though the traditional mother-in-law joke is told from the male perspective, it isn't too pleasant for the girls when their home gets dominated by their mother in law, either.

Do you know the difference between fact and opinion?

I'm sure he knows that most of your opinions are a load of tulipe.

Are you taking the piss?

You seriously think that people who can afford to bid for a house in foreign country should really be helped or thought over? It's a ****ing crisis right now, batten down the hatches and keep cash dry, even if it's in GBP.

My mother-in-law and her partner put in an offer on a house in Portugal about two weeks ago.

Consider people like me during this crisis.

My mother-in-law and her partner put in an offer on a house in Portugal about two weeks ago.

Unfortunately every day makes their offer less attractive to the seller (who has tentatively agreed it).

So the more this goes on, the less likely I am to get rid of her
