Exactly as I’ve predicted, pound still soaring, now at 1.17 Euros, isn’t it great ?

Excellent, stick to this pro brexit, pro lobster eating Alan partridge type comedy.

This is much funnier than your anti-anti-racist rants you've been on of late.

As an exporter to the EU, this must be hitting you hard...

“ The exchange rate has an effect on the trade surplus or deficit, which in turn affects the exchange rate, and so on. In general, however, a weaker domestic currency stimulates exports and makes imports more expensive. Conversely, a strong domestic currency hampers exports and makes imports cheaper.”

Pre brexit referendum level values would be interesting.

Temporary micro fluctuations are not interesting.

All open for some brexit good news.

So far you've hit us with the UK to ban foir gras, which we could have done as a member of the EU anyway.

And micro currency fluctuations, with the value of the pound way way down from pre brexit referendum levels.

So far you're not doing very well. But we're all rooting for you.

Not at all. That’s where it was a while back. If it dropped under that then the Magnum ice creams became expensive when on holiday and I had to ration them to the kids.

Import and export usually provides a ‘natural hedge’.

You still refuse to believe that we could not ban the import of foir gras from the eu as a member even though it has been pointed out that we couldnt? if you are going to debate dont lie.

I don't know who pointed what out. Or what you're talking about.

Still, if this is the best pro brexit argument on the go right now. Then things are looking bleak.

Absolutely, if you own an investment company. Let's call them "Comerset Sapital". And you short the pound, then campaign for brexit, tank the value of the pound. Then it's fucking great. You make millions.

Of course any holiday abroad is bad for the balance of payments & it will deflate the value of the £. If I was you I’d avoid going abroad at all, encourage Tourists to come here and get them to buy £. I feel you are being a bit half hearted in your love of £ if you are prepared to devalue it with a holiday in the Aegean

"Exactly as I’ve predicted, pound still soaring, now at 1.17 Euros, isn’t it great ?

As an exporter to the EU, this must be hitting you hard...

“ The exchange rate has an effect on the trade surplus or deficit, which in turn affects the exchange rate, and so on. In general, however, a weaker domestic currency stimulates exports and makes imports more expensive. Conversely, a strong domestic currency hampers exports and makes imports cheaper.”

I import and export and being quite smart I hedge currency a bit as well. Everything is going great thanks

So the exchange rate is irrelevant to you then? Why are you so fixated on it?

I've explained how I'm planning on eating lobster overlooking the Aegean in the summer

Cold water Lobster is way better, try going to the Outer Hebrides instead - holiday in the Uk!

In fact I'll be around Dornoch in the summer so on your recommendation I shall try some crustaceans there. Better be good.

Of course any holiday abroad is bad for the balance of payments & it will deflate the value of the £. If I was you I’d avoid going abroad at all, encourage Tourists to come here and get them to buy £. I feel you are being a bit half hearted in your love of £ if you are prepared to devalue it with a holiday in the Aegean

I've also previously explained that I feel an obligation to our European cousins to spend some of my Brexit profits supporting their faltering economies.

We don't want Europe to decline any further, they have more rough waters ahead with a now missing 9 billion quid.

I wouldn't bank on going abroad this year to help them out what with the slow rollout of vaccines and the rising number of cases week on week in europe .They may say its ok to come but think the uk government will have something to say unless they get the numbers down to uk levels.

It is illegal to travel abroad from the uk without good reason holidays do not count. Now unless other countries get their infection rates down i cannot see the government lifting the ban and dont blame them.

"In fact if there is no brexit good news that you are interested in at all, again, let me know, and I won't trouble you with that either "

I think the country is craving for good and sustainable news that delivers an unequivocal message.

Unfortunately the GBP/EUR rate fluctuating as it has around 1.1 since the referendum is not an unequivocal message.

Also if you are even half as smart as you claim to be, you would know that exchange rates fluctuate because of the economic health forecast of both sides. A rising £ against one currency may have more to do with the other currency than the £ - and vice versa.

Most people on here can remember a sustained GBP/EUR rate of 1.4 and that is good for outbound tourists an purchases of EU products. The rate has remained in the doldrums for the last five years because investors saw a less healthy U.K. forecast than an EU forecast. Now unfortunately, the U.K. forecast could improve, but if the EU forecast also improves, we still retain a low rate.

The U.K. needs good, long term sustainable news. For example, Companies and investors vocally queueing at the borders to put their faith in Brexit Britain would be great - and would help. But they are not, even vocal Brexiters are investing elsewhere.

Brexit cannot be a success based on it not being as crap as it could have been. It needs to deliver meaningful success to ordinary people, many who voted for it on the belief of a better future. For now, Brexit is just looking like what many Remainers said it would be... An elitist opportunity to keep ordinary folk where they belong and transfer even more wealth upwards. I mean, I could be wrong, but nothing is easier for anyone (and will get more difficult in April). Travel will have more hassle associated with it and GBP is still depressed. Turin has replaced Erasmus and is now good for wealthy students, crap for ordinary students. Nothing is any cheaper.... I could go on.

Meanwhile some random bloke on an anonymous swingers site says that his import/export business with the EU is booming BECAUSE it is now more complicated with non-tariff friction.

Uhm....

OK

I agree with that but there was a ban on countries last year and we are in a far better position this year . "

we are in a far better position that opening the border puts at risk , last year we didn’t have a vaccine roll out well underway that a foreign strain could put back to square 1

i really really hope we get abroad this year but i dont think we can safely say it is more likely than last year

I'd suggest the exchange rate has very little impact on most working class peoples lives.

Give me a heads up when the minimum wage becomes livable, public services are running smoothly, and there are no homeless people.

Brexit was nothing more than a cash grab by those with money already in the bank.

"I remember getting 1.44 many moons ago

Yes when I bought my house in France I got 1.40.

Pre Brexit ? Unfortunately those days are long gone "

Yes of course - about 6 years ago. I am considering selling it now if I don’t go back full time and if so would like the exchange rate to be low - win/win situation.

Now imagine you owned an investment company. And imagine you were an MP, and you campaigned hard for brexit, for years, promoting misinformation. And the pound took a massive hit.

Let's imagine you called it Pumerset Capital. Imagine the billions you could have made.

Do you mean 1.54 e to the pound ? you must have bought them a long time ago its not been that rate since between 2004 and 2007 your money would have depreciated a lot in that time.

Yep that is what I meant,Can hardly depreciate when I have 1-54 compared to today’s rate and think it was 2006 when I got them.

Will have to cash in my bit coins soon anyway after this as market has gone silly now.

Not really sure what the OP is trying to prove with the exchange rate. 6-7 years ago the pound was 1.4 euros, happy days etc. Now pound is way less. On top of that wages went up nearly everywhere in Europe, prices as well but wages quite stagnant in UK. At the moment minimum wages are pretty much the same in UK, France and Germany. However France has a shorter week, more holidays etc. , not sure about Germany. Plus there are more people close to the minimum wage in Uk than in other countries. Like it or not ,this country imports a lot, irrelevant where from. At the moment looks like every British is about 20-30% poorer than few years ago.

So these top professors agree with you when you say that the pound at £1.17 is valued higher than when it was at £1.32 prior to the referendum?

Do they agree with your opinion that the pound dropped from £1.32 to £1.16 the day after the referendum result was announced, not because of the referendum result, but because of a man outside parliament with a megaphone?

Because if they do agree with you. I'm going to throw it out there, that this person isn't a proper professor, and is bullshitting you.

How does Brexit redress the balance? In many ways it accelerates the race to the bottom as it has tanked the economy. Only the rich are doing well and the poor are getting poorer. It gives our ‘trusted’ Govt the opportunity to ride a coach & horses through labour legislation, whilst protecting offshore tax havens.

The question of how does Brexit redress the balance? Are you going to pay attention to the answer? (I know the answer sadly)

Brexit gives government the levers to control the movement and use of labour to this countries best advantage.

I will vote for whoever credibly offers the best standard of living to the largest quantity of people. We currently have millions of workers with little or no disposable income, which is miserable for them, and kills economic growth.

When Henry Ford setup his first car factory, he paid assembly workers double the normal rate.

Those workers could suddenly afford his cars, and they also put money back into the local economy to the munificent benefit of all.

Get it?

The point? You've just made the point very eloquently yourself. We've been in Europe 44 years and look what it's done to our economy. Completely fucked over the lowest paid with wage compression due to the free movement of labour.

Brexit starts to redress that balance and stop the race to the bottom we've seen.

How does Brexit redress the balance? In many ways it accelerates the race to the bottom as it has tanked the economy. Only the rich are doing well and the poor are getting poorer. It gives our ‘trusted’ Govt the opportunity to ride a coach & horses through labour legislation, whilst protecting offshore tax havens.

Which ‘Professors’ are you actually listening to?

Simple, just vote for whoever you think has got your best interests at heart re Labour legislation etc.

Your vote actually means something now, how about that for democracy?

Great isn't it

you have not provided an answer to the question posed

The question of how does Brexit redress the balance? Are you going to pay attention to the answer? (I know the answer sadly)

Brexit gives government the levers to control the movement and use of labour to this countries best advantage.

I will vote for whoever credibly offers the best standard of living to the largest quantity of people. We currently have millions of workers with little or no disposable income, which is miserable for them, and kills economic growth.

When Henry Ford setup his first car factory, he paid assembly workers double the normal rate.

Those workers could suddenly afford his cars, and they also put money back into the local economy to the munificent benefit of all.

Get it?

"

a) government already had those powers

b) your use of the example of Ford is not appropriate, it applies to an economy with few leakages and no international integration

"Not really sure what the OP is trying to prove with the exchange rate. 6-7 years ago the pound was 1.4 euros, happy days etc. Now pound is way less. On top of that wages went up nearly everywhere in Europe, prices as well but wages quite stagnant in UK. At the moment minimum wages are pretty much the same in UK, France and Germany.

You'll find its often best to take a pause and reflect when someone has made a thoughtful post that challenges your prejudices.

Just take some time to have a little think about the Ford example, maybe compare it to the plight of 80,000 Amazon delivery drivers.

Yep but it is still money at the end of the day,I took a chance when the rate was good and every holiday I have had has been paid for.I diid not need euros as already had them to buy stuff apart from paying for the holiday as always go self catering.

I bought a villa in Bulgaria 25 years ago when holiday firms hardly went to Bulgaria and paid 38000 in English money once transfer rate was done back then and now 4 times that price..

Land for sale in the uk is best bet now if you do not need cash flow.

Your statement is inaccurate.

Think you'll find I'm know for my accuracy. I talk with top Professors about this sort of stuff.

is your labrador a top professor?

From the lack of content in your answers I can see you agree with me. Take the loss, move on "

so wrong, i think its more a northerners polite way of taking the piss out of you.

"It needs to get back to 1.5 before I get excited.

Now your being silly

Yeah that is silly. There's no hope of getting back to pre-referendum values for the pound.

Says?

The two people above said.

If there is no level of the pound that is remotely interesting to remainers then just let me know and I won't trouble you again with updates about how much better we are doing than Europe

Pre brexit referendum level values would be interesting.

Temporary micro fluctuations are not interesting.

In fact if there is no brexit good news that you are interested in at all, again, let me know, and I won't trouble you with that either

All open for some brexit good news.

So far you've hit us with the UK to ban foir gras, which we could have done as a member of the EU anyway.

And micro currency fluctuations, with the value of the pound way way down from pre brexit referendum levels.

So far you're not doing very well. But we're all rooting for you. You still refuse to believe that we could not ban the import of foir gras from the eu as a member even though it has been pointed out that we couldnt? if you are going to debate dont lie. "

Totally goosed? Lol

Currency value is relative. The number "1" is an arbitrary unit.

In any case, brexit crashed the value of the pound. Where it remains relatively low and worth less than it was before the referendum. If that's cause for celebration, then fair play to you.

Brauchen dem Kaiser kein Zins zu geben,

Faria, fariaho.

Lustig ist's im grünen Wald,

Wo des Zigeuners Aufenthalt.

Faria, faria, faria, faria,

I'll have one of what you're drinking.

Well us Brits can afford them after all . . . so I'm happy to buy you one. "

"In a world were less is more and more is less comes less world because it means more.

Meanwhile. In a pub where I have changed GBP and Klaus has changed Euro's it seems that Klaus will run short of beer money before I do. Never mind Klaus I'll be there to buy you a pint.

Btw, who is Klaus?

Does it matter? He has euros and I have GBP to Euros, and I'm having to buy his next pint co's he ran out of money before I did. "ChinChin Klaus!!!"

Is everything ok?

It's German . . . It's about living like a Gypsy . . . not quite Nana Mouskouri in its passing of cultural experience and knowledge down the generations . . . but in parts, just as jaunty.

In a House with his elderly Mom. They are finding it harder to make ends meet since they have to cough up the extra needed to fill the UK Brexit gap in funding.

"Exactly as I’ve predicted, pound still soaring, now at 1.17 Euros, isn’t it great ?

As an exporter to the EU, this must be hitting you hard...

“ The exchange rate has an effect on the trade surplus or deficit, which in turn affects the exchange rate, and so on. In general, however, a weaker domestic currency stimulates exports and makes imports more expensive. Conversely, a strong domestic currency hampers exports and makes imports cheaper.”

I import and export and being quite smart I hedge currency a bit as well. Everything is going great thanks "

What he means is he sends and receives parcels and when he says hedging currency, he means when he nips through one to change some currency at the post office!!

It’s all about interpretation.
