As the pound continues to crash towards parity with the euro, it would be a good time for the UK to jump into the euro (at 1:1) to save further devaluation I suppose.
You couldn't make it up

Need a spin doctor here to keep the sharp edges off the story for the nine o'clock news .

Let's call parity in this case "parity of esteem", given the "deep and special relationship" under development between London and its "friends" in EUland.

I for one, would never suggest a little group of isles like the BI is soooo important to be able to make the sky fall down

Be a good trade in wheelbarrows soon. Be needed by every respectable housewife to wheel enough cash down to Aldi for a pint of milk for the tea.

What our poor Euro chums would do for a weaker Euro. Unfortunately they are stuck with it. Bless them. Still waiting for M Barnier's 'education' speech. Will be great to hear how to do things properly. When's BPS again? Reckon it's going to be a bumper year for UK farmers.

Good work if you can get it. My pack arrived a couple days ago. Must get onto it and improve my nodding skills so that the civil servants fill my boots for me.

Yes it's making up a little lost ground.
Oh, for forward hindsight. When I first made my Cz friends, one of your pounds was worth 45 of their "crowns" (don't know a proper spelling of it). Now it is 29.

Mind you, of course a £ has been worth the best part of 10$ in its day
