Britons to Make More Money than Yanks

The BBC reports that, for the first time since the 1800s, Brits will make more money than Americans by 250 pounds. This caps a dramatic swing over the past 15 years, the last time that the UK was mired in an economic recession.

There is a sunny side for Americans. Cheaper foods and services will allow yanks to retain their purchasing power advantage over their colonial oppressors. Hurray for a weak currency!
