Rapid fall due entirely to May intimating hard Brexit. 100,000 jobs in the city to go American banks will repatriate many city jobs back to New York where they already have Euro clearing rights Hilton (Cameron's pal who defected to Brexit camp) now saying he wouldn't be surprised if Amber Rudd suggested foreign workers getting ID numbers tattooed on their forearms! May being hammered as first prime minister ever not to put the economy first (naivety). London based financial services pointy heads insulted by May's comments on global citizens not being citizens of anywhere. pub time And didn't the PM have an extra special word of thanks for the Beeb (and the NHS) in her rather long-winded 'Let's make Britain Great again', no teleprompter, stream of consciousness conference speech? I was listening with a fellow Brit when she specifically mentioned those two rather dismal institutions, we did a double-take and shared the thought, "Oh no.... she was doing so well too."

NanLaew Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 18 hours ago, SheungWan said: One item to keep your eye on is the cost of flights out of the UK. Flight fuel is priced in dollars. At some time flight prices may begin to push up so it may be prudent to book earlier if possible. Just look for the airlines that have negotiated fixed-cost, long-term rates for fuel; most of them do. I think Qantas were the most notable winner several years ago when fuel prices and air ticket costs spiked but they managed to keep prices down.

Anythingleft? Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 So what's done is done, IMO the future of the UK will be a brighter one when they regain the control which they gave to the other countries to run our own affairs to our own best interests and make the UK an attractive prospect for future investors and manufacturers. Yes it's going to be a bumpy ride for a long time yet but I don't think that going back cap in hand and saying we want to stay in will come across as anything but a huge joke now, possibly leaving us in an even more unenviable position than now Better we continue on the path that the majority, however slim, set us on Only my opinion of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
