Steve Shovlar Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) I am in no doubt you will blame every conceivable problem on the Brexit Vote. Why, if the truth be known, you even blamed Brexit for Poole not winning the Elite this year..... Prices for food and fuel fluxuate all the time and now it little different. You sit in your ivory tower and cast opinions that are solely biased. I voted to leave and have no regrets. I voted with my eyes open and a clear mind. and am well aware of the procedure that lays ahead. I wake up each morning and think many things,.......... But not one thought about that referendum vote.......... I'm more than happy.. The pounds collapse against the dollar and euro is directly linked to the brexit vote. So you and other brexit voters are directly responsible for the recent and continued rise in fuel prices. Its a fact, not an opinion. Fuel is purchased in us dollars. The pound has fallen massively against the dollar. That equates to paying more at the pump. The recent hike in fuel and food prices will continue and more and more people will feel the pinch. I can sleep at night knowing I didn't help cause this. Whilst I can swallow the fall of the pound better than someone who is on a basic wage who really will feel the pinch in the weeks, months and years to come, its still going to cost me 4 figures this year alone. I have already made changes to my business, working to build up more clients on the continent. No point now being paid in a currency that has lost a huge chunk of its value. I truly believe the brexit vote is going to have catastrophic consequences for the people of Britain.

A ORLOV Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 A lot of my shares are up by 25% since the Brexit vote so I am well satisfied If others looked at the positives instead of moaning all the time they also might benefit from the actions of GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Blind faith - when all else fails... No not at all, I have taken advantage of what has happened and done very well. I realised prices of imports might go up and that things will be tough for a while and am prepared to accept that for a better future for my grandchildren. Wait and see what the outcome is as your predictions may not be right and take advantage of the present situation.

Deano Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Steve, if you put your eggs in one basket and only deal with the continent, then you will be in trouble. Our goods going into the US have gone through the roof, parts from the continent have gone up but the retail price versus currency exchange is more than offsetting the difference. It used to be the other way around.... the goal post has just shifted. Watch the tooling get pulled from Germany and Poland soon, to get a better piece price from somewhere else.

Steve0 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 But it is Phil. I am hundreds out of pocket already, possibly more. Guess I will know the exact figure when next year when my accounts are done but expect it run run into 4 figures easily. I don't care about Britain making our own laws. Chances are we won't like some of them and the government will have no one to answer to. Migrants? Nothing will change. We won't be allowed to simply because the EU will have us over a barrel because of our need for decent trade deals. I don't see one single benefit of leaving the EU. The younger generation have been crapped on from a very great height by a bunch of middle aged white citizens 'who want their country back', but didn't realise the massive implications of voting out. These people have just voted for up to 25% chopped off their yearly salary. Well done them. OMG - I actually agree with SS - will need to go lie down! (Don't agree about speedway though) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice Of Reason Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Clearly written by a republican. I thought I was going to be bashed with convincing unbiased facts and figures. You HAVE been presented with facts and figures - irrespective of the possible political bias of the author. I now await your ability to disprove them. Edited October 21, 2016 by The Voice Of Reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now await your ability to disprove them. Disprove yours? How do yours disprove mine in the first place (that I posted up nearly a week ago)? You have no mention of the value to the economy that the Royal Warrant holds, neither do you mention tourism (which you so proudly said you would), no mention of the special events revenue they bring in (such as appearances etc). Then most of all no mention of the costs they put on the taxpayer broken down. Mine listed all of these broken down pulling out a profit after all costs are beared.

I truly believe the brexit vote is going to have catastrophic consequences for the people of Britain. I am in Spain at the moment (Alicante) and filled up with petrol at 1.28 Euros per litre.yesterday. I filled up in the Uk last week @£1.075 per litre so what you are saying about fuel is not true. This is the first time in recent years that the fuel is cheaper in the UK.So it's not a fact is it Edited October 21, 2016 by mickthemuppet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other countries fuel prices have nothing to do with what is happening right now in the UK. The price of fuel in Spain is neither here nor there.

Think you need to have an understanding on exchange rates and the fact that fuel is purchased in US Dollars. I am guessing by your understanding you voted for brexit.

I am guessing by your understanding you voted for brexit. Partly,but then explain when in 2012 the rate was over 1.5 dollars to the pound and yet petrol was over £1.40.Surely going solely on your logic petrol then should have been under a pound.

A lot of people seem to be selflessly doing it for their grandchildren. Maybe they should let their grandchildren make up their minds on the matter when the time comes?
