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"

In those days we probably didn't import as much so the price rise
would have been less for most people.

What, back in 2008 you mean?


Opps, not Harold Wilson then.

The drop in 2008 didn't last long enough to have much effect did it?
