Wowzers - this trading surely is algorithmic. January 2009 was the last time the pound was down here. Tory power, turning turning your wealth into toilet paper.
Feeling totally smug selling my Edinburgh place when I did and cashing into Euros.

I think you dont understand basic economy!
UK has a negative net exports - meaning it imports more than exports! Now, when you import something you have to pay it in the origin country currency.
If the pounds drops half its value compared to Euro and dollar, everything UK imports from Eurozone and USA will cost the double in pounds!
Of course because UK will be in 'sales' the amount of exports will increase what will help to counter balance the negative impact, but this only means that in the end instead of costing double will cost 30/40/50% more what is enough to put loads of people in poverty.
Cmon, make an effort, I'm sure you can get there...

There is a difference between wanting a very strong currency to be slightly weaker and a currency just being trashed!
Plus since when trump is an example for anything... There seems to be a weird correlation between people supporting brexit and "supporting" trump ideas...I wonder why!? IQ coefficient maybe?

To answer the OP - put me in for 86 cents.
Can then buy back my Edinburgh place for 70% of the price I sold it, assuming the rock solid UK housing market holds.![]()
