Our economic recovery



I see there's a Currency War going on worldwide.

Every country is fighting for itself in order to increase its exports by reducing the value of its currency so that their goods and services are at an attractive price to other countries.

Low currency value  - higher exports - better economic recovery.

We can actually do something to help:

Here are a few ideas:

  • Avoid buying foreign goods especially cheap things from China - buy British wherever possible:
  • British cars, toys, food, beer, wine, materials 
  • Become more self sufficient - grow food, make things out of  local materials - slate, clay (pottery!)
  • Avoid taking holidays abroad - in effect this is buying products and services from other countries
  • So take your holidays in Britain where possible
  • Encourage foreigners to holiday here - we've a lot to offer
We really need to change our way of thinking.

People are slowly waking up to the need to rethink most of the things we previously took for granted.

Any other ideas?
