I'm invoicing a client in Canadian dollars at the moment. This month's payment was made today and turned out to be an appreciable bit more in sterling than it would've been a week, or even a few days, ago. A short term gain to be set against the long term impact on the nation's economy of sterling's decline, no doubt, but fine by me as far as this week's shopping goesComment

But you have the skills and the option to have overseas clients. Ron and Fred in Whetherspoons in Hull do not have that option. They will just complain how their pie and mash in Benidorm costs more.
Cleethorpes is a worthy alternative. I think they accept Britcoin, or it might just be speed and phone cards.Comment

Another 1% drop today as the pound sinks to parity and beyond with the Euro and USD.
You need to get on the right side of the trade.

Thought we'd have seen a bounce back up to €1.10 by now. If anything the downward trend is accelerating according to this 3-day chart. Ugly.
