Pounds were considered somewhat a stable currency

then they went to the next stable one, yen.

I instantly invested in a new multi cooker lel

Gogogo No (r) way

It makes sense why Norway doesn't want UK in

The oil prices are dropping

Meaning their economy is also dropping

They'd be hard pressed to export stuff at the same rate if UK were to enter EFTA

If the oil prices were the same as say

8 months ago

They'd be far less reluctant

One concern is that Norway, through Efta, has signed trade agreements with 38 countries, including Mexico, Canada, Colombia, Morocco, Kuwait and Qatar. If the UK joined, those trade agreements might have to be renegotiated and future trade deals would become more complex.

so this is what the UK wants maybe?

I heard something about the reason UK went out was wanting more trade deals outside eurozone

could just be bs

They want more control over the trade deals in general

Without EU directives

Anyhow, I keep a bunch of money in NOK from before the price drop so I know. But honestly I don't really care enough about the value of money.

I think its a pretty stable currency

But yeah, I would veto out UK

Unless they got some nice offer on the table for other countries

Apperantly, from what I heard, they already have enough maintaining the EEA/efta

UK don't import alot, I think

But they do export quite the assortment

So it's not very lucrative for the other members, either

Yeah I've bought soda from the UK, and t-shirts from ireland, which is quite weird I guess. Also imported clothes through there probably chink ones anyway.

I most preorder games from the UK Amazon

New console releases go for like 500-600 in retail here

I ordered books from UK

While you can get em for an equivalent of about 400, if you order from Amazon

Or Zavvi

Although I switched to adlibris.com

Or one of those sites

amazon UK sounds like a very good online store, I wish I had access to it with free shipping&no import bs ._.

Bought some pants that were in a special fit size, costs much less through amazon brands than here.

72 usd for a pair of clothes cmon

I'd... Wait for a sale

Normally they only put the junk on sales

the ones that I don't fit well

But I was lucky last time I went to the mall and got a good one
