Reply to: Eurozone's growth has stalled

Try looking at the 5 year trend to see what's really happening to the pound.

Standard economic policy that's been followed before.
At least the pound is sure to exist in 5 years, can't say the same about the Euro

[BlasterBates]

FTFY.

Looks from that graph that its on an upward trend having troughed in July.
You really need to do a basic maths course, where they teach you to read graphs etc., so you don't keep making an arse of yourself.

Certainly am, judge a man through his actions not his words, and you delivered on par!

So made any friends in Munich yet or still "wandering lonely as a cloud ..."?

[scooterscot]

You seem rather excited.

Look at me everybody!

Did mum deny you breast milk?

You seem rather excited. Is that becuase you thought you were the first person ever to go to Munich, as your naive posts seem to indicate?

[scooterscot]

I've been to Munich*. Quite liked it, as I like most of Germany. Shame it's full of Germans though.

Your keyboard is broken?

Munich is incredibly green, not to mention that it's incredibly easy to get out to some proper countryside (the alps are only an hour away), and it has the best beer and beer houses in the world bar none. It also has some fine museums and galleries, the Deutsche museum (science and technology) being particularly good. One of the highlights of my time there was being in the same room as all of Kandinsky's surviving "compositions" including those that usually live in the pompidou and guggenheim. It also has the advantage of being much easier to enjoy these things because it's smaller and less crowded.

And in the rest of Germany: Berlin, several times, the Black Forest, Heidelberg, Cologne, The Rhine Valley, Bonn, Frankfurt (several times), Dresden, Erfurt, Liepzig (the latter 3 when the East was still the East)

Oi! Shut it! You're supposed to tell them Germany's an overpriced tulipheap and everyone there stinks!

Ignore doodab; Munich is a dump, it has open sewers where the maggot infested diarrhoea of tramps flows like a river, the restaurants serve nothing but Soylent Green, the whores all have a new, airborne variant of VD and the sausages are infected with ebola. Don't go there!

[doodab]

I have a prosperous life ina green part of London, with family and plenty of friends and enjoy my access to all the amenities of the greatest city on the world: its pubs, parks, museums, theatre, galleries.

You have a lonely existence in a poky one-bed in dour Germany.

I would draw tha ppropriate conclusions if I were you.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, it's just possible you haven't grasped the situation.

How is the situation likely to affect joe public in the UK? Loss of jobs, loss of savings, higher debt rates?

I'm feeling pretty insulated against any fallout, having no debt and a warchest big enough to last a few years of no work.

Busy spreading the warchest around the best easy access savings accounts I can find, each protected by the FSCS under a different banking licence to spread the risk and minimise inconvenience if any go tits up. So if I lose it all then everyone in the UK is likely to be f'd anyway.

I'd put most of it into a bungalow for my parents but waiting to see how far and fast prices fall over the next few months. Some they're interested in have dropped 10k or more in the last couple of months, so heading in the right direction.

I thought I start a thread about EU doom and leave the UK (The shining beacon of light that it is according to SAS) alone.
