The fall in the value of the pound has already cost us more in
increased import costs than any net saving in EU contributions
after we leave.

What do you mean by we ?

Apple have biut prices up on teh app store by 25% for the UK but
as I havent; brought an app surely it will only cost those buying
rather than the whole country. You'll notice that they say it;s
due to BREXIT but this doesn't explain why they put the cost up by
33% in india and 30% in Turkey is this all because of BREXIT too ?

You've missed a step. The rise in Apple's prices is becasue of the
fall in the value of sterling. This appears to be because of
Brexit. For India & Turkey, the rise is due to the fall in their
currencies against the dollar. No Brexit connection.

You might not by Apple's products, but you will probably buy other
goods made or grown abroad. These are also creeping (or jumping) up
in price.

Could you explain this because I can't but that's what we're told.

So every price rise from now until teh end of time will be due to
BREXIT I guess the house price riss over the last decade are due
to BREXIT too.

Since nearly all the bricks used in UK housebuilding come from The
Netherlands that might be true.

Do you really think so0?


yes, just look at the shrink wrapped packs of bricks on building sites.


any idea where they get the raw marerials to make the bricks ? They don't
grow on trees.


Yes, I do know - clay pits.
