More urgently important is the size reduction and price increase on a bag of Space Invaders. They were 5p a bag from the shop near my school and the pickled onion ones were so strong they’d make your eyes water.
I am reliably informed the average price is now 20p and the pickled onion flavour is more like bad breath.

Yer right, Anna.
Also, the price of the Belfast Telegraph. apparently 5 years ago it was 35p, when I did a paper round 2 years ago it was 45p, and it’s not 65p or something.
where will it all end?
ps. feel free to set up “price of…” threads if ye wish!

Haha, do you think Britain should abandon the £ and join the euro currency?

I did an equal degree, so it was English/History 50/50.
The people of the UK won’t have a choice whatever happens, but I predict a collapse of the pound followed by entry into the Euro (“it’s the only thing we can do to save the UK economy!”). All part of the globalist march towards a world currency.

Probably reckon you’re true on the inevitable entry into the Euro, however, I have a feeling (no research!!) that it won’t be after this economic downturn.
As for the Globalist march towards a world currency.. this is fitting in with the New World Order theory. By the world currency, do you mean Western world, or are you including places such as the middle east and Africa?
I’m guessing you also agree largely with the Elitist theory, correct me if I’m wrong (which I probably am!)

The NWO have their fingers in many pies…they are well into Africa and have control of some Middle East countries. Russia and China are rogue states, so it won’t be an absolute world currency (at first).
I’m not sure what you mean by “the Elitist theory”.

Also, with that History degree, could you help me pass AS Level History? It’s a pain in the arse :(

I’m afraid all I can advise for the History exam is memorise as much as you can - because just reciting exactly what you have been told is what gets a pass in the education system…
