Re: Brexit and the pound
Nobody will be unaffected. It's not just what you buy personally, it's what those who produce, make, sell and transport what you buy who will be affected most. Their costs will rise and therefore their prices. Let's just hope they don't use it as an excuse to pop even more on top of the increases.Remember when we changed to decimal coinage? Every single price increased substantially. The one I remember most clearly because it was so blatant, was a packet of 2 toilet rolls went from 1/3d to 13p. Very nearly double the price, overnight.

It wouldn't take much for the stock market(s) to have a severe correction at the moment. Let's hope it ends gently.

It's still worth 240 pence, hang on... its only worth 100 pence now... perhaps it has been devalued
