The answer is dependent on the type of Brexit. The markets are fearful of a chaotic no-deal exit and if that occurs the £ will crash and it will crash below the 31-year low which occurred when the referendum result was announced.

Bomber had become a sad parody of himself now. 

back on topic has the pound sunk below 40 yet????

Back on topic, exchange rates rise and fall. After a period of uncertainty is over (either whether the UK leaves or does not) exchange rates return to a 'normal' level. As I said many many posts ago, once Trump was actually elected, the Dollar rose again over a period of 1-2 days. I also recalled the very first Iraq invasion which restored oil price immediately (like a rocket) because the uncertainty was finally over, even though a war actually had started. I think the question to be answered is how long the current uncertainty exists.

I was in the UK for two of the Brexit years, didn't really cost me much.

My last year while I was here I just spent a bit less in Thailand, to claw the difference back.

Your personal opinion once again, backed up by zero facts. All I hear from you is blah, blah, blah. Exchange rates rise and fall, and a fall is in fact often a good thing. Just like a trade balance deficit (just another economic example did you). But you really don't understand, do you? Always.

I remember that talk after the vote when it dropped to 44-45 the brexiteers all said it would be 50 before xmas.ha ha it dropped to 40 how wrong they were ha ha

To be fair the USD and Euro also dropped by 10% against the Thai Baht in the same time period.

45 would put it back to the same level as all the other western currencies.

And when we said back to 50 by Xmas, we all assumed the Uk would leave and not pretend they would leave for the next three years, but not actually leave.

The facts are the pound crash was the most accurate of all predictions pre voting day and it will be the same again if crash out day ever comes..look at the facts,i know it hurts you but just do it...do i really need to post the graph again

41.8, Brexit is as near as it ever was ...... we'll be living on Mars before it happens.

Although it's funny with the EU pretending they're gonna refuse an extension, and May pretending to beg.

It's almost as if it's being orchestrated.

That's exactly what's been happening. 

 

£ dived again via superrich but I'm not fretting I think it will hit 42.5 within the next 2 week's but I'm willing to listen to any sound minded reasons why I should wait for 45 and an ETA?
