[quote user="allanb"]Competitive devaluation wasn't the disaster in the thirties; I would say it was under-employment. [/quote]'Competitive devaluation' is exactly the same as 'protectionism' and that was definitely one of the main drivers for the big depression: The 'beg thy neighbour' policy. Under-employment is never the cause, it is the result of a downturn. ( never leading, always lagging)In the long run it has always been the economy with the strongest currency that recovered best from the downturn.

This box needs to be connected to both the dish and the livebox.Did you follow the complete procedure first: configure your livebox correctly ( no TV) , connect the box , power on and let the box update itself? The box might not turn the lnb 'on' until it has completed this procedure.

Not "The" experts, just one expert.From another Bloomberg expert:` Economists say King’smove risks stoking excessive inflation as the bank pumps a totalof 175 billion pounds into the economy, equivalent to 12 percentof gross domestic product.´

When you run an economy with a huge debt, what is the last thing you want?- Deflation, because this increases the real value of your debt.What do you want very much?- Inflation, this not only decreases the real value of your debt, it acts as 'taxation for all' and gives you the chance of 'cheating' with the inflation figures thus creating the opportunity of not compensating salaries, pensions etc.How to create inflation?- Ask Zimbabwe, at 231 million per cent inflation- you simply print money.What solution would Gordon promote?....

Like many in the UK, you don't even have your facts right.Denmark (like the UK) is NOT part of the Eurozone. Why would Wales,N- Ireland , Scotland and The City stay within the UK when the one-size-fits-all approach does not work? The UK should gradually adjust its economy towards the continent, but instead the UK is waiting for the continent to ajust their economies towards the UK... Printing huge amounts of money will not help the pound. Use the current idiot high levels for sterling to save your money before it follows and supercedes the 'mighty' Dollar on its way down...

It is some kind of legal issue. The same problem occurs when you try to buy cosmetic products on ebay to be delivered in France since last weekend.

Yes, I had one years before moving to France.

[quote user="5-element"]
But, let's put it that way: if the Tempo option was not such a good source of savings to the consumer, EDF would not have scrapped the option.
[/quote]The EDF has a lot of problems with customers who think it is a good source of savings but in the end have used up so much electrical power on red days that it takes them years to pay off their debt to the EDF.That is why they do not promote the use of "Tempo" , it still exists. -
French restaurants are not allowed to serve ragondins from "the wild". This is not to protect the ragondin population, but the customers.Ragondins love common rat poison, but they are very tolerant and do not die. Humans do however...

This problem is quite common, but that does not mean that it is ok.Just complain (online) until is is solved. As almost all other modem/routers perform better than the livebox you may try the Siemens, but it is their problem to solve especially when you pay 3 euro per month for the non-functioning livebox. Maybe you'll get the new livebox mini that is supposed to perform better.

[quote user="bigears"]the uk doesn't need europe or the euro, bring back the empire, rule britannia[/quote]Well, if that were possible, yes the empire would be a big enough internal market.In all other cases ( the real world [8-|] ) the UK economy is simply too small.The UK has two options:1- join the dollarzone2- join the eurozone.

Germany does not equal the Eurozone. German cars are as bad as US cars, just let them go bankrupt.The French automobile industrie will benefit. [:P]

Just a dead cat bounce. Inflation in the Euro zone has dropped fast and this triggered speculation on a big (BoE style) interest rate cut by the ECB.

Considering the debt of the UK, the kind of economy is now irrelevant.
The UK gets richer with every decline of the currency as this decreases the huge debt situation.
The pound is on the brink
