As our pound is being de-valued, we need to do something about it! Don't buy Aussie!

Please!!

Alternatively Steve you could encourage those in Australia to buy more Branston Pickles, Marmite and the other things they crave for on this forum

I am being truthful when I say that I had Vegemite on my toast this morning and washed my hair with Thursday Plantation Tea Tree shampoo so I do apologise. And then there's the Tim Tams from Tesco in the cupboard (but I didn't get the Sakata rice crackers) Sorry if I've forced the ER down from the heady days of $3.02 we got once And then there's all those Aussie footballers in the UK (but I won't mention how we beat 22 Englishmen at their own game once!)

You're not helping at all, are you!

We'll have plenty of chance to buy Aussie when we get there! Buy British!, Buy British!, Buy British!

That's it, I'm having you barred! There is a matter of economics at stake here, and you, Claire, are bringing the country to it's knees! You and your vegimite! Go and buy some fish and chips instead, you traitor!
