what I don't understand about all these "horror" stories about how
this 18% fall in the pound is affecting prices

is why we didn't see the same stories in the press in 2008 when the
pound crashed a horrendous 40% (1.45-1.02)

yes 40% - more than twice the fall this time

yet not a squeak there was

Really? I don't know what meja you use,but any change in the value of
the pound was and is covered extensively. Even more so back then with
banks all around the world crashing.


I thought that sort of thing only happened with BREXIT. Maybe it;s an
illustion then and not cause by BREXIT but merchant investors lokoing to
make a killiong because tey want to buy up the UK cheaply so are
devaluoing the pound from afar. Not that I;'m suspicious that qatar and
china have brought the national grid no fiddling there I can assure you.

may I suggest you use a spellcheck on your posts.
