General Congreve Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Like many on here I've been very alarmed, although not altogether surprised, by the fortunes of sterling in recent days. However, thinking about it, it won't be all bad for us here in the UK. Of course we've all heard the usual claptrap about cheaper exports etc. boosting our non-existent industries, but just think about this... 1. A collapsed pound will lead to legions of beautiful foreign female tourists, from countries that could previously not afford to come here, to flood the UK. Can't afford that foreign summer holiday so you can pursue hot foreign babes anymore? No worries, just locate your nearest bars frequented by tourists/backpackers in your area, work on that English enunciation of yours (in a Bond-style) and sit back and wait. It'll be like shooting fish in a barrel and no need for the bother of flying anywhere either! 2. Perhaps your aim is higher than bedding a few backpacker babes during holiday season? Well, spend a few of your hard earned pennies (sorry, it'll be about 10k pretty soon I expect) on a half-decent suit and frequent the lobbies and bars of the more upmarket hotels in your local city. It shouldn't be long before you ensnare yourself some unsuspecting super-rich Asian business woman looking to bag herself an exotic European status-symbol husband. Ker-ching! Before you can say Mail Order Bride, you'll be a kept man, living in the lap of luxury in her Shanghai Penthouse, a Playstation controller in one hand, an ice-cold Tsing-Tao beer in the other. 3. But maybe you like your women closer to home, a good old English Rose per chance? Unfortunately the only thing rosy about most English girls these days is the colour of their cheeks, as they struggle to lift the huge behinds off the sofa to make another trip to the fridge. Decades of cheap food has regrettably led to a horrendous decline in the quality of our UK woman stock. Happily the advent of collapsing sterling, and the resultant rocketing price of food, will ultimately lead to the figure of your typical English lady being more like an affordable stick of celery than Jabba the bleeding Pizza Hut. Bonus! So chin up boys, when one door closes another always opens Edited October 13, 2009 by General Congreve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PricedOutNative Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I think there is a correlation between the richness of a nation and how much 5ex people get… Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like you I have my serious doubts, but fingers crossed, let's just hope the trend works in reverse Edited October 13, 2009 by General Congreve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
