I've been getting sales trickling in, but I don't think I would hit my daily target at this rate.

I have a thread going elsewhere about my one and only sale for today today, from Italy, and it is having to get cancelled due to the ridiculous cost of shipping the bloomin' item over there.

I would not get too worked up just yet. It may be a couple weeks before things boil down and people get on with purchasing as normal but without any doubt, people will need and want things and buy soon no matter what the markets/exchange/shipping will be. Let's just hope it is sooner than later.

I think people are confused. Nothing has actually happened. We are still within the EU. Nothing is likely to happen until we get a new prime minister in 3 months.
I just think the last thing on people's minds right now is spending money with scaremongering financial articles all over the place.

USA means Superpower, live it...love it! | With all due respect, you are in $19.3 trillion debt. When you've paid it, then refer to yourself as a superpower.

USA means Superpower, live it...love it! | But USA wanted the UK to stay in the Euro no? Which means the UK just went up against a superpower.

Just to keep things in perspective....

Whichever party gets in over here they just borrow more and spend more, hence the size of that UK debt.

He threatened to place the UK on the back burner of all European Trade with the USA. But he does not represent the USA as a whole and arguably he is irrelevant to anything at all and certainly does not represent the majority of the USA in these statements.

$2,849,345 - UK
Government debt per capita
$55,630 - USA

Let's not turn this thread in to a pissing contest between the UK and USA.

My figures are from 2015 tax year
The numbers are pretty similar to the numbers shown in your links though
Not really sure what your asking?
The number that was off was thinking that the UK was 1/40 the size of the US. The UK GDP is 1/7 of the USA

I was referring to land Mass for size. Sorry for lacking clarification.
Also, the two debt numbers I was looking at were not comparable. The UK total debt per capita included all government debt and the USA one I supplied did not include state and local government. Not remotely comparable.
My bad
I have found others and to sum it up, but who cares. My point was both countries along with most other governments as a whole have massive debt and I did a terrible job expressing that. | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to yankee For This Useful Post: | |

There was a study one time that found that UK woman washed there hands the least of all people on the planet after a trip to the bathroom!
