O/T pound

[CTMilller]

Sorry ive got no brains on the subject...I personally cant see any/much difference in the quid to be honest...things are still a quid in the pound shop, and perlenbacher is still the same price in lidl..what more do you want !

Makes a big difference to me, millavanilla, since a big chunk of my pension is paid in pounds and I live in the US where the majority of my costs are, of course, in US dollars. So, Brexit created about a 20% real reduction in spendable income for me.

However, I fully accept that this is a self-inflicted wound. Nobody told me to go and live in the States...!

What did the pound fall to in 2008/09 when the recession started? Did it recover? Economic uncertainty and low interest rates have caused the pound to fall. It will recover.

There is no conspiracy.

No conspiracy it’s in plain sight

As for your year yes it fell because the world went in a recession it’s far from a vote to brake away from eu
