when you choose your next place to relocate to make sure they have proper banana's i'd hate to see you get all upset over a banana,a tip for you just buy them individually at a set price to avoid getting upset,it might work out more expensive but it avoids any unwanted issue's and stress.

I do understand that you are attempting humor , but , to be serious , I dont really like bananas and just have them in smoothies and I really dont care as to what shape they are/were

  • UK politics are a complete shambles, the country is in disarray, anyone who expects the pound to rise short term is an idiot. The UK doesn't export anything worth any money, it has corrupt politicians

    I’m sick of being told by Brexiteers on fixed incomes that the pound will “come back”  brexit will take 20 years to sort out and the pound will just keep sliding

    A lot will depend on Brexit ... if that goes badly then it will get worse against the Baht, Euro and US Dollar.    If Article 50 is revoked you’ll be back to 50.

How has your life been negatively impacted on a daily basis by UK being a member of the EU?

 

What tangible benefits to your daily life do you expect to get from leaving the Eu?

  You should try a bit harder then , many people have stated the reason why they voted Brexit . Even posters on here have given reasons . 

   Even I know why Brexiters voted to leave , surely you can find out as well ?

correct,your sovereign govt didnt allow you to,how nice of them,what were you saying again about democracy and independence ???? you should of took them to the ECJ 

Don't worry about Brexit, if the Scotland  leaves the union, you will have an enormous deficit and the pound will go in a freefall.

UK politics are a complete shambles, the country is in disarray, anyone who expects the pound to rise short term is an idiot. The UK doesn't export anything worth any money, it has corrupt politicians stealing money with counterfeit expenses receipts left, right and centre, and is the butt of Europes' jokes. The British Empire is long gone, to be honest with such scumbag thieves at the helm it's amazing that the pound is even worth 39 baht. It should be worth zero.

 

It's a crap country, completely moronic politicians who couldn't crack open an easter egg, the only people who want to go there are Syrian and Iraqi refugees which the government throws money at. It's a disgusting, cancerous place to live and I refuse point-blank to bring my children up in such a dog-turd of a place.

 

And did I mention that it's a complete sh!t-hole?

I don't understand what you're trying to say ....

 

I don't know if you are British but it's not a "crap country", try living in Africa, China, Mexico or Russia.

Granted, the politics at the moment are abhorrent but that's only because we're stuck on the most crucial decision in our lifetimes.

I hope your children won't need free healthcare, free primary and secondary education and a social system that catches pretty much the most vulnerable.

 

The UK, like any other country isn't perfect but it's far from a shit hole. Trust me...I've been to France! ????

you will find free health care free,primary schools and free secondary schools are common place within the EU,and most wont be charging £9.00 for perscriptions or paying alcoholics extra benefits,France is the no1 most visited county on the planet if i remember correctly and certainly has a bit more going for it than the UK,mexico is popular with expats and holiday makers,china has good area's and a few  expats,same as various areas of africa.iam afraid the terraces have taken its toll on you,no surrender,rule britannia and all that rubbish.

Try supporting a religion in China or denouncing the ruling party in Russia or getting free healthcare in the US. All things we take for granted.

The French infrastructure is heavily subsided by its government which is overburdened financially (98.4% of GDP v UK 84.7%) and has a socialist if not militant workforce.

in 2016 £44 billion was spent by Brits in the EU,given that since brexit the pound has dropped on average at least 10% thats at least £4.5 billion lost to the UK,times it by 3 = £13.5 billion and thats before adding on all the non EU spending USA/Thailand/turkey etc where is also down,and its probably another £13.5 billion,then there's businesses extra cost to take into account and its mind boggling,yet brexiteers claim the EU will collapse because 27 nations would have to find another £9 billion between them,even if germany paid the lot its only €0.80 per week per citizen.rule brittania ????

i doubt many expats in china are interested in religion,russia you mentioned earlier but your clutching at straws,USA we are all fully aware of the healthcare set up there so again your desperate,french infrastructure you are correct about but it is good.

The exchange rate is clearly abysmal and the reasons the pound is so weak are old news but its not all about the pound.  I just cannot understand how strong the baht is. Despite what Mr. Prayut and his government say about the Thai economy, every business owner I've talked to (both Thai and foreigner) in Thailand says things are grim. The manager of a Thai builder's merchants told me that the first 3 months of this year were their worst on record.  Short term 'propping' of an economy may be possible I guess but this has been going on for years - why has the baht remained so strong? A strong baht = problems for exporters no?

 

Normally when a country is take over in a military coup, its currencey sinks to the value of toilet paper - didn't seem to happen in Thailand - how come?

iam aware all of the pounds fall is not down to brexit but since the vote 70-80% of the loss is brexit related,i await the usual brexiteers moans because i have used percentage example.

You misunderstand me - I am saying that of course the UK's economy has problems but its not all about that - the Thai baht is very strong but I don't understand why. Weak pound or strong baht = poor exchange rate. Both = disaster.
