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. ;-o


may I suggest you use a spellcheck on your posts.


you may suggest anything you like.
