you are somewhat shielded from the worst effect of brexit in your segment of the market, your customers are among the well to do with large disposable income. Importers of Chinese bikes don't fare so well. Some of their customers will compare the cost of public transport to the benefit of own...

I must say that scenario is not impossible. I reckon 10% price rise equals 10% lower sales. 20% price rise equals 30% lower sales. 30% price rise equals the death of the industry. Brexit is the triumph of vanity over common sense.

Germany has a big problem with recruiting people to work in boring factory jobs that most white Germans don't want to do, like working in a chicken slaughterhouse. Imagine you have to stand up and chop up a few thousand chickens a day in 5 degrees centigrade. Refugees will more or less accept...

what does not kill us will make us stronger.

immigration is a scapegoat for the brexiters elite. They know full well that immigration is there to fulfil the jobs that the local can't or won't do and they pay taxes. What is the point to tell Poles to leave?

it seems to me at the moment that Mrs May's strategy is to build up EFTA into a big enough bloc to rival the EU and get better trading terms between the two. That will solve the sovereignty problem for her.

at this rate of decline, the £ is going to be on parity with the Euro by the end of the year. I wonder how long Mrs May is going to play chickens with the EU. They hold all the good cards at the moment.

you may have to factor in about 2c due to the market betting that the BoE is going to cut rates on Thursday, August 04. I reckon the BoE is going to leave rates on hold but even if rates cut, the Pound will recover when brexit plan is finalized before March next year. There is an issue of paying...

woosh will put up their prices on the 1st of August too. £35 to £45 per bike, roughly 5%. I think Woosh may have to put up their prices again next March if the Pound drops below $1.32.

I do agree with your reasoning - simply accepting the free market without a social agenda is not acceptable in the 21st century but a lot of people don't care for words like market, economy, social agenda. You have to prove that they are better off inside the EU than outside, the elite don't...

because half of the country can't keep up with the other half. It's all well and good to have utopian goals but it's no good if half of the country don't understand why you want them.

we can join EU2 if it happens.

I am worried about the asset bubble. House prices and stock market went up considerably in 2007 before crashing in 2008. I so hope that brexiters come to realise soon that isolation is not what this country needs and their project is no more than vanity and misplaced nationalism. Bad economic...

rates cut seems to be the only weapon left to the BoE at the moment to stop the pending recession. It's like paracetamol, it dulls the pain but does not cure anything.

while we wait for brexit: house prices seem steady or increasing slightly.

you should consider advertising it on the woosh website. Take some pictures and email them to Hatti @ Woosh. It's free and usually the bike sells within a few days.

May and Hammond are for staying in the single market, Liam Fox is against joining the EU customs union. It would in fact make his job redundant. The brexit ministers will now find out how hard it is to drum up business outside the EU.

on the economy, there is not much to be cheerful about since the 'unexpected result' of the referendum. Clearly, a majority of businesses simply did not expect brexit to win. Until a plan emerges, we now see the consequence of brexit uncertainty. I expect many sellers on here to postpone their...

can't you see why? they all have to put up their prices. Chinese bikes that used to sell at £1,299 now will have to go up by £150, to £1449. At this sort of price, they are bound to lose sales to European made bikes.

you can easily sense the level of education in these people. Whenever IDS is/was on TV, I always have the urge to reach for the remote control.
