It will recover, a dollar when I was a kid was 25p the old five bob that's when we were Great Britain - 2008 after the crash the euro was equal to the pound - it will fluctuate until the negotiations next march start other EU countries want a referendrum look at their stagnant economy it's just getting worse each day!

Joey if you're not attempting to play an utterly perfect Brexiter stereotype then the above is truly amazing.

Yes because it not the doom and gloom the Remainers quote!

Can you not?

It's taken literally every "remainer" to point out that none of us and just about no one else either has called it doom and gloom.

Also what @chicoazul said above, how delightfully stereotypical.

I don't reckon it will be as bad as forecast but there's some very tough days ahead. This on top of a tough eight years for most working class people in the U.K.

Rupert Murdoch really has done a job on the wiki educated xenophobic maggots in th country. I'm personally hoping for more foreigners to dilute the racism abound in the media and poorly informed.

I probably dislike the English more than any other nation of people and it's a shame as there's some tremendous folk out there but they're crushed by dull and ignorant.

We're all citizens of Earth mate.

And the old half crown (2s 6d) was called half a dollar.......

My business was directly affected by Brexit and i'm still pissed off about it.

I buy goods in from the EU and overnight my losses were enough for a tight run ship to be put in a bit of difficulty.

It won't be as bad as forecast, nor will it be as good as others forecast, but we'll do just fine.........

U wot, Peter?

It's on its way Pete, make no doubt about it.

We've entered a "phony war" period waiting for a Government to come up with a timing and strategy for Article 50 and subsequent actions. We sort of have a timetable but no strategy (cunningly phrased as no running commentary), the nearer we get to the trigger of Article 50 and no evidence of a strategy the worse it will become.

Of course, the Government has seen the independent Bank of England engage in huge quantitative easing (again) and a further reduction in interest rates to stave off the immediate impact (very Keynesian )but let's not kid ourselves, they've just kicked the can down the road a few months.

We have no idea what post Brexit will look like other than we will not remain in the Single Market - so on what terms do we trade with Europe? WTO? No-one knows, least of all the Government.
