Go on holiday to Iceland, it was one of the most expensive places to go until recently, and now the krona has crashed, you can have a good time while realising somebody else is worse off than Britain...

But Edna, there is only so much fun to be had throwing snowballs and having a Cod Bath

I've always quite fancied going there.

Splendid scenery, the Blue Lagoon, the Golden Triangle, and maybe the Northern Lights if you time it right. Of course you have to be cultured enough to appreciate these things...

The Government needs to give me money. I will spend it all and the circular flow of income will get back on track or some bollocks like that

It's almost too romantic to contemplate

modern day thinking like privatisation.

Everytime I catch an overcrowded overpriced train which only serves peak time peak stations I marvel at the idea of privatisation. I do the same thing when energy companies announce record profits and my bills soar.

Just 18 months ago, one POUND cost you over 250 yen. Now the same POUND costs you less than 150.

I'm rich!

Interesting comment on Question Time tonight regarding privatisation and nationalisation that I hadn't really considered before.

Is isn't that privatisation or nationalism are equally good or bad, it's just that we've gone about privatising the wrong things.

The argument went that certain parts of the National Health System could be improved by letting the private sector run them, but some of the public utilities and public transport should never have been touched in the first place.

The Golden rule being that you never privatise something that will only function as a private monopoly afterwards.

I think you'll find that the Poles and Latvians are now deserting our shores to work in EU countries that can pay them in Euros.

fantastic news!!

I believe the Poles and Latvians are all going home to Poland and Latvia, where there are jobs and a decent standard of living.

Iceland is bleak, but amazing.

I spent the new year there a couple of years back. Would love to go again - probably in summer, though.
