Quite ironic that you are reading and commenting suggesting that "no one is listening" , when you quite clearly are listening

Shockingly awful post.

Just wait to see what's round the corner. 

Just give the war a miss, everyone else is over it.

The sad fact that many of life's losers end washed up in Thailand , usually in Pattaya- one good thing if the pound continues to fall is they will feel the pain first and hardest and join the Ruskies drinking Arhca on the 7/11 step - "living the dream".

The 'listening' bit is irrelevant. What is relevant is that Brexit impact on Sterling has significant effect on expats living in Thailand or anywhere else for that matter. Not only that, the Sterling impact has a faster more immediate effect on expats and therefore their input to the discussion is skin in the game. In short your contribution has little value other than as a 'spoiler'.

Actually many of those who spend their retired times in Thailand and even Pattaya have been relatively successful enough in life to arrange their finances to afford living abroad so do not have to take abuse from those who have not. Some are more exposed to Sterling than others.

Reads topic title "Brexit turmoil hits pound"

Rushes to view XE.com ........... 42.2

In the last 3 months it's been between 41.8 and 43.5 ..... hardly any change so why the big panic headline?

Because the trend line looks down. However, not much change over the last few days. The suggestion is that attention is more focused on international trade issues and the $ interest spread yield curve inversion (shorter term interest rates less than short term interest rates) this week.

Crap negotiating by Britain. They should have played hard ball. No one had heard of Hard and Soft Brexits when they voted....they just voted to leave. We should pay nothing and leave on March 19th. Britain is too valuable a market for the EU to lose....if they lost the sales to us they would have a major recession, and so sense will prevail at some point. But the EU negotiated in bad faith.

a major recession in the EU you say,well before brexit the UK was top of the GDP table its now 6th from 7 with italy bottom and thats before brexit and all the jobs we will lose to other EU nations,they dont actually sell us much other than VWs and we sell them even less,we will cement 7th spot for sure

the trend line shows its the lowest for 21 years,and a lot more likely to go lower than higher.

That's pretty obvious 2 years ago many were saying that especially the rich 1% who didn't want UK to leave EU.

It's good for UK to export all it's manufacturing goods.

  Transfer wise , only accepting transfers up to £10.000  tomorrow,  on Dday .

      Bring  your hard earned savings over  asap .  Tomo  may be too late .  Not looking pretty for ex pats .

[cyberfarang]

It appears to me that even if an MP sneezes sterling drops.

 

I can foresee the way this is headed that soon the £ will be equal to the Euro. Someone somewhere has their finger firmly on the lid to stop the £ rising.

 

Crap bank interest rates and crap bank exchange rates, it`s become a situation where Brits living abroad may just as well keep their money under a mattress, the banks are offering nothing.

 

Now that some embassies have stopped issuing monthly confirmation letters, who in their right minds would want to bring over 800000 baht at these rates?

Those of us that live here and need a visa. A bigger question is who would bring 4-5 million to buy a condo.

Just stop the brexit madness. Anger and Arrogance voted brexit into play and reality needs to step in and stop the brexit madness. I am not British but think this has been one big ignorant exercise that needs to stop and make up with EU and move forward positively.
