The Pound is going down the Toilet

Then you underestimate we Brits as we are stronger when our backs are against the wall. A country which considers a cup of tea and a digestive biscuit a luxury can face the apocalypse with a shrug.

Yes, I can see that.
The local ladies group will soon be getting down to knitting their own bras, while Dave has acquired an injection moulding machine, so that he can start up DaveDildo PLC.
That is when he works out how to make latex from his rubber plant.

Whooot! Whoot.

We Brits made the modern world, you would be amazed at what we can achieve once we are challenged. We just need a kick up the arse now and again.

Branching out into buttplugs are you?

U.K. inflation pressures are building, with input prices at factories surging at the fastest annual pace in almost five years. While oil is playing a part, so too is sterling, which has fallen more than 10 percent since the Brexit vote, pushing up the cost of imported food, metals and parts. According to Sam Hill at RBC, consumer-price growth was “subdued” last month, though the producer-price data “suggest it won’t be long” before it resumes its march higher.

Glug-glug.

Perhaps it should be rather known as the English half-pint?

Maybe it has something to do with Trump's running mate, Mike "Pence."

Brexit has been kicked into the very long grass and nobody can be bothered to go and find it. Art 50 will never be triggered. Everybody with at least two brain cells knows Brexit was based on lies and misrepresentations. May wants it to die without trace and is just going through the motions.

What would you say was one of the bigger or more blatant lies ,and who said it?

[Svartalf]

Lie? My guess is more wishful thinking than outright untruth.

[Rum]

Well no. It was an awful mistake but we are leaving one way or another. The negotiations are about damage limitation I suspect.

The Brits should come and join us over here in North Merka. We should form a new union among the UK, the US and Canada. We can call it Canukus. We'd be unstoppable.

Face it. The Continentals over there in Yerup don't like the Brits. They view you as uncouth and more of an island out in the Atlantic, instead of a yourapeein proper. You're allies now with France, but you know damn well they think they're all superior-like.

We're your children over here. It's us. Big Brother US and Little Sister Canada. We may find you a bit stodgy and curmudgeonly, like an old parent is wont to be, but we never stopped loving you.

EU Shmee-U.

Have they ever come through for you? No. YOU are always there for THEM. They can't handle their affairs and then you come in and have to head over and straighten things out for them. But, when you've hit a bit of a bad patch, who came over to help? Canada and the US, that's who! Yes, Oz and NZ and such, too. But, not the mainland yerpeeins. They're always too busy.

You think the French are going to help you if you get into a scuffle. Think again.

Never work. You have any idea what Friday night at pub closing would be like if they had fucking guns?

Then don't close the pubs. Problem solved.

[laklak]

I think you're on to something.

I am all for this except replace Canada (have you seen who they elected as PM, bunch of self loathing gimps.) Replace Canada (spit) with Russia (Putin, yay) and a USA, UK and Russia will put the world to rights.

The rest of the world would call it Cukanus.

We'd be unstoppable.
