I don't mean to be a tit mate, and am sympathetic to your point - but there is a lot of world out there that is a hell of a lot better than the United Kingdom.

I've been in the fortunate position to visit a good number of EU countries, including those in the east and south of the continent and found them all to be wonderful. Slovenia was a personal favourite. There is a lot we could learn from their people, but our 'ENGLAND IS DE BEST' attitude makes it impossible.

People from the Uk tend to be the most travelled people on the planet and have been for a long time. Not once has Joey or anyone else used that ridiculous phrase......and I suspect never would.......

That attitude is plastered all over our country. Everywhere. Liverpool is probably one of the places with the least of that attitude going.

And we were the most travelled for long periods because we were pillaging and enslaving anything we could get our hands on!
 
So you just proved that the dollar v £ has always moved around.......

1) yes - sort of; but in modern times, eg post WW2 more down than up...I remember getting $1.05 during the Callaghan-Healey 'Winter of Discontent / Crisis? What Crisis' of the late 70's

2) but all I really proved was that Joey was mistaking common every day sayings circa 1960's for fact.
 
Ditto.

Next year is going to be absolutely brutal.
Why we will be still in the EU it's two years before independence ?
It's not affecting Aldi an EU store as the anounced massive expansion only this week.
I agree it will be bumpy imo this week May took the opportunity to warn the EU their threats will get them nowhere.It was polictical posturing to get the best deal!
By the way I am a sensible socialist who can not vote for Corbyn!

I'd guess because the cost of goods imported and paid for in Euros has increased by more than 15% thereby reducing margins enormously.

I sold a manufacturing business in Europe last year, I noticed last week that the new owners had closed down their UK distribution arm. The problem is that those particular goods cannot be manufactured in the UK so the goods will now be imported from lower cost but lower quality manufacturers in Asia. A loss/loss situation for both the UK and Europe.
 
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.
If the so called well educated left leaning English have such a disdain for the common less Educated English it's not hard to figure out why UKIP are souring in the polls.

Hmmm, not sure about that. From the traveling I've done, I'd put the nordic countries top, then maybe the Dutch or Auzzies, then maybe the Israelis and Irish. I'd say the British gave up that title along time ago! Anything I see online has the UK clocking in at 13th.

People don't stop eating, they switch to cheaper places, thus economic turmoil is good news for ALDI.

.

This in a nutshell.

And goods I had invoiced my customers for who were on credit terms, and had bought at prices converted at older exchange rates took any margin off the deals completely.

Brexit day was like somebody had ram raided my business overnight and took what was in the till.

Joey, May got a dressing down at the G20 by Japan, the US and China and was forced to renege on her Hinkley Point stance. May is in an every increasing mess, and the division in the Tory party will become more and more acute the closer the UK gets to invoking Article 50. She is running a government that is all over the shop about what to do in the UK let alone the EU.
