How could I not lead in with a "that's what she said joke" while Walter is away?! So what on earth is the graph that you're looking at?! While recession in the US brings many bad things, we need to keep our glass half full (Walter's Blue Label glass is always 3/4 full and Louis' is empty because he thinks it's a shotglass, and down the hatch it goes...I digress). What you see is the dollar to pound foreign exchange rate, and makes you cringe if your income is paid in Pounds. Through September of 2008, $1.90 would buy you £1.00 while today, that same £1.00 would cost you only $1.45.
In short, buying tickets to see an EPL game (use Man U vs Fullham as an example) would have cost you $332 pre September and that same seat, bought today, will now cost you only $253.75.
That's all for now, hopefully Carlos and Walter are making the most of their increasingly less expensive cost of goods across the puddle. -Sir Whiteness
Sir Whiteness,
ReplyDeleteNice title.
Sipping is for whimps!!! And clearly not helpful in reversing the current economic trend i.e. the faster you consume your alcohol, the faster you will be buying more...think of all of the people that depend on the alcohol economy- waiter/waitress;distributors, store owners and nite clubs, the people that work at these places, ecetera, ecetera.
ReplyDeleteBottoms up!!
