I-LONDON - Ngepondo kwi-lows entsha malunga ne-euro kunye nedola ekupheleni kwe-2008, iBrithani yabonakala inexabiso elihle kwisibini saseMaltese uMario noJosanne Cassar. Bathenga iisutikheyisi ezimbini ukuze bafumane zonke izinto abazithengileyo ekhaya.
“Kuphantse ukuba yintlekisa, amaxabiso esiwahlawulayo,” watsho uMario njengoko yena nenkosikazi yakhe babetyelele iSt Paul’s Cathedral eLondon.
Ayingabo kuphela abakhenkethi abatsalwa eBritane ngokungaphaya kweendawo ezibonwa nguBig Ben, iStonehenge okanye indawo awazalelwa kuyo uShakespeare. Ngaphezulu kweponti ebuthathaka, izaphulelo ezinyukayo ezibonelelwa ngabathengisi abanemali eboshiweyo bazisa abantu evenkileni.
“Indawo yokuhlala inexabiso eliphantsi, ukutya kuyabiza kwaye sithenge iimpahla ezininzi,” utshilo uMario oneminyaka engama-50 ubudala.
Uqoqosho lwaseBhritane luthe gqolo kunye namazinga enzala asezantsi embalini, u-2008 ibingowona nyaka ubuthathaka kwiponti ukusukela ngo-1971. I-Sterling yehle ngeepesenti ezingama-27 xa ithelekiswa nedola yaze i-euro yafumana ama-30 epesenti ngokuchasene nayo ukuzisa ezi zimbini kumgama omangalisayo wokulingana. ixesha lokuqala.
Imali yaseBhritane ngoLwesibini nayo ifikelele kwiminyaka eli-14 ephantsi xa ithelekiswa neyen.
Kwinyanga edlulileyo inkonzo kaloliwe ye-Eurostar cross-channel irekhode ukunyuka kwe-15 ekhulwini kubakhweli abavela eBrussels naseParis.
Kodwa ukuba iBritane isiba ngumtsalane wabazingeli bentengiso, amaBritane aphesheya ajongana nokuncipha kwamandla enkcitho kwaye abanye bacinga ngeendawo ezingabizi kakhulu zokuya kwiholide yasekhaya.
Ishishini lifuna ukucofa le ndlela yokukhuthaza iBritane njenge "lizwe elinexabiso elingcono kwihlabathi lasentshona".
Sele isungule iphulo lokuhenda abantu baseBritane ukuba bahlale ekhaya kwaye ngo-Epreli unyuselo lwe-6.5 yezigidi zeeponti (i-9.4 yezigidi zeedola), exhaswa ngurhulumente kunye neshishini liza kuqala kwiinzame zokuhenda abakhenkethi, ngakumbi abavela kumazwe e-eurozone nakuMntla Melika. .
"Ndingatsho ngenene ukuba alikaze libekho ixesha elingcono lokundwendwela iBritane," uChristopher Rodrigues, usihlalo wearhente yezokhenketho yelizwe uVictorBritish, uxelele iReuters.
“Kufuneka sithathe ithuba leponti engazange ibonwe ngaphambili,” utshilo uRodrigues, ngokuqaqamba kwengcali enethemba. "Eli lithuba elihle lokuthengisa iBritane."
Ubalule ubugcisa, inkcubeko, imidlalo, imveli kunye nemimandla yeli lizwe: kuninzi okusemngciphekweni.
Ukhenketho luvelisa i-85 yeebhiliyoni zeeponti ngonyaka ngokuthe ngqo kuqoqosho lwaseBhritane, i-6.4 yepesenti yemveliso yasekhaya epheleleyo, okanye i-114 yeebhiliyoni zeeponti xa ishishini elingathanga ngqo libandakanyiwe - okwenza libe lelesihlanu kushishino lwelizwe.
Ubuninzi bengeniso-i-66 yeebhiliyoni zeeponti-iphuma kwinkcitho yasekhaya, ngoko ke umzi-mveliso ufuna abantu baseBritane bahlale ekhaya.
Abantu baseBritane abaxhalabele imali bajonga iiholide ezinexabiso eliphantsi ezifana nokukhempisha: iKlabhu yeCamping kunye neCaravanning ithe ibone ukunyuka kwe-23 yepesenti yokubhukisha ngo-2009 ukusukela ngoNovemba xa kuthelekiswa nexesha elifanayo kulo nyaka uphelileyo.
“Silindele ukubona ukukhula okukhulu,” satsho isithethi salo uMatthew Eastlake.
Kodwa kwanangaphambi kokudodobala kwamatyala, ukhenketho kweli lizwe lwalukwimeko emaxongo, luqhuba kakubi ukukhula komndilili wehlabathi, utshilo umbutho worhwebo weTourism Alliance.
Yathi isabelo saseBritani seerisithi zokhenketho zehlabathi sehle malunga neepesenti ezingama-20 kule minyaka ili-10 idlulileyo, kwaye ingeniso yokhenketho lwangaphakathi yehle ngaphezulu kwama-25 ekhulwini.
Ukwehla kwabangelwa kukuqhambuka kwesifo sonyawo nomlomo kwiifama zaseBritane ngo-2001, okwavala indawo enkulu yasemaphandleni kubatyeleli, kunye nohlaselo kuthungelwano lwezothutho lwaseLondon ngoJulayi ka-2005, ngelixa ukungabikho kotyalo-mali kunye nokufumaneka kwexabiso eliphantsi. iiholide zasemzini zongeze ingxaki.
Ukongeza, imozulu embi kunye nembonakalo engapheliyo yeehotele ezimdaka, ixabiso eliphantsi kunye nenkonzo emdaka akuncedanga, utshilo uRodrigues waseBritane.
Uvumile ukuba iindwendwe kuye kwafuneka zinyamezele ukusilela ekuboneleleni ngezinto ezisisiseko ezifana neetawuli ezicocekileyo kunye nenkonzo ngoncumo, kwaye walumkisa ngelithi amashumi amawaka emisebenzi asemngciphekweni ngexesha lokudodobala koqoqosho ngaphandle kokuba imigangatho inyusiwe.
“Ngoku sikwimeko apho kufuneka wenze umgangatho,” utshilo.
URodrigues ukwalatha kuphuculo. Imimandla yasezidolophini edandathekileyo, njengeLiverpool, ibone uhlaziyo.
Isixeko esisemantla, esaziwa kwihlabathi liphela njengekhaya leBeatles kunye neklabhu yebhola ekhatywayo iLiverpool FC, yaphinda yabizwa kwakhona kunyaka ophelileyo njengeNkunzi yeNkcubeko yaseYurophu.
Inkulumbuso uGordon Brown ehlotyeni edlulileyo wenze into yakhe ukukhuthaza ukhenketho lwaseBritane, iholide eSuffolk, kunxweme olusempuma, ngokungafaniyo nokuthanda kukaTony Blair eItali.
Umdla wama-Britons ekubhukheni iinqwelomoya kumazwe aphesheya wehle ngeepesenti ezingama-42 kwiveki yokuqala kaJanuwari ukusuka ngexesha elifanayo kulo nyaka uphelileyo, ngokutsho kwewebhu ebeka iliso ku-Hitwise.
Kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba baya kuhlala ekhaya.
"Kukhangeleka ngathi iponti ebuthathaka ibeka abantu ukuba babhabhe besiya kwi-eurozone nase-US, kwaye bajonge iindawo ekufikelwa kuzo ezinamaxabiso otshintshiselwano alungileyo endaweni yoko," utshilo uRobin Goad, umlawuli wezophando.
I-Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA), emele ii-arhente zokuhamba kunye nabaqhubi bezokhenketho, yathi iBritane isaza kujongana nokhuphiswano olunzima kwiindawo zokungcebeleka ezingabizi njengeTurkey, iYiputa neMorocco, ezikhangayo kumaBritane ekufuneni ilanga kunye nexabiso elihle.
"Nangona i-pound ibuthathaka kukho amazwe angaphandle kwe-eurozone apho kukho izinga lokutshintshiselana okulungileyo," kusho uSean Tipton, isithethi se-ABTA.
Kodwa uDorleta Otaegui, oneminyaka engama-30, kunye neqabane lakhe u-Inaki Olavarrieta, oneminyaka engama-30 ubudala, osuka eSan Sebastian kumantla eSpain - ilizwe esele likwimeko yokudodobala koqoqosho ngokusemthethweni kunye nelona liphezulu lokungabikho kwemisebenzi kwi-European Union - beza eLondon ngokukodwa kwiintengiso.
“Sonwabile … sinemali eninzi,” utshilo u-Otaegui. "Izinto ezilapha zitshiphu kakhulu."
