Working In Spain

Hi Guys

I'm working in Spain at the moment and their economy makes us look very prosperous - But the best thing is nobody gives a s**t -

I wonder why they live so long over here

According to UN figures, the UK has the 6th highest output of manufactured goods in the world, behind the US, China, Japan, Germany and Italy (though I think France have overtaken us since these figures came out).

But hey, don't let facts get in the way of a good rant.

your sig is ridiculous btw, back to school for you

And there's nothing wrong with living on past glory, .

Fine if it pays the bills

[Doggy Styles]

We don’t produce anything worth buying and are living off past glory. Our currency becomes more and more worthless each day. It’s time for us to ditch [our currency], embrace the EU and sponge off the French and Germans. Discuss.

You mean, like Ireland and Spain have?

[swamp]

If we have to embrace Europe it will be with our backsides on the top of Dover cliffs making raspberry sounds. And there's nothing wrong with living on past glory, unless you're a BBC wishy-washy imperial apologist.

UK makes in large quantities these.

Pound would have to drop to a gram in order to export these

We do export them unfortunately we can't make them thick enough to not be able to find their way back

[BrilloPad]

Surely we should be embracing Asia?
