    In these tough economic times there is still some value in the pound.

      Make sure you wash your hands before visiting the breakfast buffet.

          We could sell you a gov't. Corbyn has some spare time, once he's out of self-isolation.

              Really why does this matter?

              We don't import bog rolls from the USA. So they won't go up.

              We don't import hand cleaner, or spuds, or pretty much any food so why does it matter to the average man in the street? It's not as if we can fly over there just now to spend our dosh is it?

              Stocks and shares are just posh gambling. When the fun stops, Stop.

                Are you sure we don't import much food?
                Have you ever seen where your food comes from?

                  UK imports about 40% of its food.

                    Welcome to the benefits of Brexit.

                    A demolished currency, great for exports but at a time when we could do with imports.

                      If a weaker currency is the end game, interest rates are so going to go through the roof.
