The Euro!

Featured Replies

Ive just come back from a week in Portugal and I cant believe how much the prices have gone up

I was paying 3 quid a pint in a little crummy bar, food was expensive too, as well as all the other bits and bats that you buy whilst away, even if we got a good rate on the Euro its still expensive

Its the same now in Spain, France and Italy.

Gone are they days of getting a cheap bear in Europe!!

 

Euro Twats!

I know what you mean though, Europe was getting more expensive even before the pound became weak against the Euro - now it's getting ridiculous.

Talk about moan, get your wallet out you tight fcuker!

Euro's going to collapse soon, with a bit of luck. Germans are already refusing to accept notes printed in Italy, there are 0.5% spreads on bond markets within the same currency and everywhere south of Austria is about to realise that tying yourself to German monetary policy only gives you recession, not the stability they bizzarely thought you could impose.

Ive got to disagree with you there Carlos Mate

 

When the Euro was first dreamt up the only country that met the strict economic criteria was Luxumberg, in the end anyone who applied to join got in,

in the next 3 years the likes of Slovakia, Lithuania, Estonia, Bulgaria and Latvia etc will be joining.

Any fucker can Join!

Indeed. The UK public debt levels have been lower than the Euro average ever since the idea was proposed. Of course, that's only because the entirity of the Euro zone breaks their own arbitrary rules. And why anyone would want to join the Euro is entirely beyond me. German monetary policy killing the European economy at every downturn; and we have an entirely different economy to continental Europe, so we'd be worst hit by assymetric shocks.

 

Whole thing is just EU hubris. God bless the Irish today, but the gary nevilles in Strasbourg won't listen.

Krakow in Poland is the place in Europe, untill they get wise to the fact, just come back and ?1.40 was the dearest in a very posh place and normal "local" was about 50p, good stuff an all

Portugal is becoming very expensive...

 

a trip over the border to the spanish algarve and property, cars etc are substantially cheaper...

 

but you get what you pay for...I wouldn't give those greasy haired cock suckers a single sheckle...

I agree, the Portugese are just Gypos with a bit of land - if you get then chance to go, don't! - I have been several times with work in the last few years, and not once have I been tempted to spend any of my own free time there.

One pint of Hoegarden and a vodka and coke cost me ?12 last night in Belgium. Now that's expensive.

This really sexy lass said that she would show me sexy time I came into her club. So I went, ordered a drink, got the bill, and said 'you're joking right'. Then this big blackie said 'No, we're not'.

 

I never did see her clout.

fair comment I suppose, you know more about the place than me.

For those wanting a taste of Europe, get yourselfs down to Albert Square in Manchester. The European Markets on and the obvious stall of choice is the German Beer Stall........Fill Yer Boots!
