Not to worry,the way things are going we'll probably end up with Jezza and Miss Diane in Downing Street.

Those two will put an whole new meaning on the word pain!!

Dunna Werrit our Jeremy and young Abbott will increase our pensions if elected the unions will force him to support their retired members,all the utilities will be nationalised and us retired members will benefit from reduced bills so we will all benefit financiallyuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnn, yawn then I woke up skint and hungry.

On 23rd June 2016 the exchange was £1.3039 to the pound. It's currently £1.12..

 

Crikey, that’s impressive. I’ve never done better than £1 for a pound.

The company I work for have been up for sale. We’ve businesses in quite a few countries.

 

A partial sale was announced yesterday. The bits of the business the buyer excluded from the deal were China, Turkey and Britain.

Interesting. Maybe they're anticipating a hard right no deal Brexit which will make us a low cost economy like Turkey & China?

For those of you in the Brexiteer pensioner brigade, have you considered this; if our economy takes the kind of hits being forecast we could well suffer from serious currency devaluation and surging inflation. As you are pensioners on a fixed income your standard of living would be devastated. You can joke about Jeremy & Dianne but I can assure you they'd be more likely than the Tories to readjust the state pension to offset such a scenario.

Brexit will affect everyone, mostly in a bad way, and pensioners could be one of the hardest hit groups even though they were statistically likely to be leave voters.

Inflation is over 2% higher now than it was in June 2016. On 23rd June 2016 the exchange was £1.3039 to the pound. It's currently £1.12. That may benefit our exporters but it does nowt for the folk of this country who are paying for imported food and the like.

 

Yet we have a lower inflation rate than 5 years ago when the pound was higher against the Euro by a significant amount and with an inflation rate of just over 2% we have one of the worlds lower inflation rates.

Yep, most pensioners probably have on average about 20 years of life left and yet they've condemned themselves to a worse standard of living for most of if not the rest of their lives.....words fail me that people don't wish to try and overturn this impending debacle.
