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.


Oh I'm sure that the fall in value was reported

what wasn't reported was the constant "everything going up because of it"
