It’s tripe like Sanemax’s comments which had kept me away from British pubs recently 

 

“we have to leave the EU (which we have been a member of for 50 years) because people died in a war in 1916”

 

then they give a stern stern look like they themselves were there storming the beaches in Normandy.... fists clenched, all fake emotion.

 

42 carat morons. 

patriotic bulldogs,summer season i love in my local,they come back moaning about prices being expensive and then they blame the EU,how very sad,trying to explain to them is like impossible,yesterday a ex army mate of mine was trying to encourage someone to sell up and move to benidorm as its cheap as chips,it is quite cheap but may not be very soon.

For some of us , the amount of money in our pockets or the exchange rate isnt our primary concern .

  Previous generations have suffered extreme hardship , millions dying for their Countries freedom , some of this generation are only concerned about getting a few more baht at the exchange booth

again your going back to wars,there is barely a nation in the EU that the UK hasnt been at war with at some point in history,portugal and maybe the scandanavian nations are about it,i didnt vote as i would like to see a few less immigrants in the UK,by immigrants i mean the illegal ones and asylum seekers,the poles etc are fine with me,yes there are a few abusing the welfare benefits but there are also brits doing the same in some EU countries,the asylum seekers are the big money drainers who contribute nothing unlike the working EU nationals,these asylum seekers are lavished by our govt and dont get similar in the rest of the EU,we choose to do this,we are not following EU law,i doubt many bulldogs realize this,as for ex rate's its getting to a point now where it WILL be affecting even brits that dont travel as imports will start to be more expensive,the latest fall will add a penny or two to fuel just for starters.

I was talking to a hardcore Brexiteer in Chequers a month or 2 ago who is retired, struggling with the sterling devaluation and might have to move out of the Omni and go live in a 10,000 baht a month condo in Ratchadaphisek (and perhaps even have go and live in Cambodia)

 

basically his lifestyle is badly affected because of Brexit but he still believes in it with an almost Islamic zeal.

 

why?

 

i dunno about you, but I’m not interested in being poorer and having a worse quality of life just so Westminster can have an independent trade policy.

 

lets just say "HE'S NOT LAFFING NOW IS HE" ???? i bet there are some brexiteers on here would love brexit to be scrapped knowing they will get a 15-20% increase in income,but we know they are never going to admit it,losing face isnt nice for a bulldog ???? woof woof

"BJ is only going to be another TM,he stated live on UK TV mays deal only needed minor alterations,so brexiteers you have been warned."

 

How they go do that..? As stated more than a dozen times...: negotiations are closed , no reopening the deal …..even the E.U. Brexit  negotiating units are dismantled by E.U …. does that not say enough ?

me and you know that,but the brexiteer dreamers are still dreaming,BJ will be in and out before xmas IF he wins,which i have my doubts

Yes 35-36 for next 5 years sounds reasonable. The UK is disaster of a country clinging on to the days of the empire, it has nothing to offer apart from crap weather, crap food, overpriced property and some of the most disgusting, self-serving, lying, cheating politicians in the world. Anyone with assets or income in GBP is screwed.

 

The UK offers nothing in the modern world. Nobody likes the monarchy, there are race riots, the currency is plunging, it is the cancer of the modern world. The behaviour of the politicians is absolutely disgusting, the quicker the UK sinks from global warming the better.

and to think brexiteers on here were predicting the downfall of the EU a few months ago because the Italian PM had a minor spat with some high ranking EU politician.

Revocation of Article 50 or even a Brexit deal signed off will see Sterling surge against the Greenback and hopefully back to pre referendum levels of $1.55

 

Then we'll see Sterling/Baht back towards 50 again....

we know this as do our MPs there is no way they will allow a crash out,farage knows it also,the quicker a50 is binned the better,BJ is only going to be another TM,he stated live on UK TV mays deal only needed minor alterations,so brexiteers you have been warned.

Hi

 

I had an interesting chat earlier today with a couple of friends, discussing alternatives to Thailand for various reasons.

One of them has reasonable Latin/South America experience, has been to Brazil, Cuba, Dominican Republic and Venezuela.

 

The first 3 multiple times, the latter I assume once only and likely a long time ago.

Also speaks fluent Spanish.

 

Other friend, never to the region.

Columbia came up,, the experienced guy looking for flights  to there and as he is aware that I looked at route prices to there from Europe. I found some good prices. He has Cartegena top of his list.

 

Anyway the Brit friend who has never visited the region seemed shocked at the idea of going to/considering Columbia.

" Dodgy to go there " his comment. ( Drug cartels/murders etc.)

 

My friend who has been to the general region made the comment that things have changed and that if you do some research there are cities/areas that are fairly safe.

 

To me it just seemed an example of someone with no experience having some misconceptions based on "old news"

 

 

Personal safety has to be a consideration of course but times change.

As an example I think that crossing the road in some parts of Thailand has increased in risk.( naklua main road would be a good example )

 

Everything in context I feel.

the brit has probably never been anywhere outside of europe other than thailand.

Wrong. Keeping in with the local cartels is the safest option and they’ll text you in advance if something’s going down.

Wouldn’t want to be found tied to a plastic chair on a roundabout in mysterious circumstances when all it takes is a quick call.

Keep in with the locals is what I say.

Not much sex available there for old men ....... which is why we chose the third world.

Can't imagine anyone except for Americans considering SA.

thailand is barely third world these days and certainly not 3rd world prices hence you left and according to you and other brexiteers spain,portugal etc are near 3rd world due to the EU,total rubbish imo,plus i dont see why you think only americans should consider SA i would think many french,italian,germans etc would be able to speak spanish compared to barely any brits,brits will keep returning to thailand because it reminds them of the UK and has large groups of pals wearing unionjack clothing who live/visit regular,they wont enjoy change and drinking and shouting aloud and nobody understanding what they are on about and basically laffing at them,the thai's are polite enough to do it after they have made sure the bill has been settled,a brazillian/columbian/peruvian would laff in their faces before the bill was sent for

Latest figures for January from Core Logic show the crash in Australian property values is accelerating.  It has also spread to all capital cities (with the exception of Canberra that is supported by negatively geared investment properties owned by public servants).

 

While interest rates are set to rise in the US and other countries, the RBA last Tuesday foreshadowed that rates in Australia may now, more than likely than not, move down.  They are already at historically low levels never before seen. They will now move down below 1% and probably to zero.  

 

When the GFC occurred the cash rate in Australia was circa 7 or 8% so it was easy to drop rates by a significant margin to keep the economy afloat.

 

The GFC was a decade ago and the usually economic cycle for markets is 11 years maximum.  So a major correction is on the way.  Notwithstanding the fact that a cyclic correction is now due, there are also any number of black swan events that could trigger a collapse.  US-China conflict in the South China Sea is one relevant example.

 

If there is a black swan event and Australia is already bottomed out with a 0% cash rate, what will the RBA do. That is a rhetorical question of course. There is nothing they can do because the do not have any dry powder left.

 

Hold onto your hat Spock. During the GFC the Aussie dollar went down to 61c US.  It is not far away from that level now and there has been no black swan event.  I have read some forecasts predicting the AUD to go as low as 40c US.  That would mean the AUD:THB rate would be around 14-15 baht.

 

Australian property is already down 10% from peak.  It will fall another 30 to 40% from here.  The negative wealth effect will hobble the domestic economy. But again the RBA can do nothing because the cash rate is already close to 0.

 

If you have any AUD, I suggest dumping it now before it is too late. Those in the know are already getting out in droves to protect their capital.  Have a look at how the share price for the gold producer ASX:EVN has rallied since the start of this year. 

 

If you are working in Cambodia make sure you save every Riel you earn.  You will get a small fortune for them in a few years time when you exchange them for Aussie Pesos.

the tools to fend of a recession are lost when rates are already at 0% or just above,UK has barely anything left to play with the EU nothing at all along with Japan,why do you think the FED hiked so many times in the last few years,at least they can now tinker a bit,also the forthcoming recession is the first in history with so many developed nations entering with pitifully low rates,it will only make the recovery harder and longer,it legacies still lie with the 2007/8 crisis.
