Most Australians I know here in Thailand are as bitter about the Monarchy as the Brits are about the EU. Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app You must know some very unusual Aussies,as that is not my experiance. Probably the short sighted and selfish ones,those that would fit in well with the Remoaners crowd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can you learn from Australia's FTAs? That's correct! They're with their closest neighbours typically! They are indeed laughing at us: for being so damned stupid! Anyone interested in the gravitational theory of trade should look no further than here:- Trade is often proportional to the economic mass of two counties and inversely proportional to the distance squared ( I accept that beta3 maybe a bit less than 2). I assume Michael J Fox or whatever he's called is aware of this and will concentrate on the nearest, largest economies? Germany, France and Italy would be an intelligent start! ?

Either way hard ...medium hard...softish....squishy or a fairy type soft brexit , once it's done and uncertainty is mostly diminished....the pound will come back to pre brexit levels at least.

Johnyo Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 All this talk about a transitional deal is hilarious. The U.K. is no position to say if it will have one or not. If the EU says there is no transitioning after March 2019 , the three Brexijadist can say whatever they want.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of Brexiteers on here were talking about the GBP recovering a month or two after the referendum. I think you will find uncertainty might last one or two decades.
