BrendanJ, investors come here to lend us money, not borrowing at low rate. They are pulling their money out, you can see this in commercial property projects.

the last time investors fleeing London, it was 2008. Then, we have had a reasonably classic approach to solving the banking crash, it took a year for foreign investors to regain confidence and come back. This time, it's our brexit strategy that causes investors to flee. How long do you think...

the point is, if we engineer for the exchange rate of the pound to be lower that the market would price it (like the Chinese do with their RMB), like borrowing for infrastructure projects, then we help our future exports and at the same time, still keep a handle of inflation. This time, the...

this time, the pound actually crashes because foreigners pull their money out in droves.

this is the view of the world about brexit (they all think we are mad)

Tillson, I am amazed that you believe that BG are going to let an opportunity like this go without putting their prices up.

Brendan, I hope your pension is index linked. Just look at the price of annuities to see where we are heading. A year from now, the lesson will be learned.

Don't be fooled by the propaganda. The Pound has been stable around $1.65-$1.55 from 2009 to 2015. It's now $1.29. Put it another way, would you take a 13% pay cut for bexit? the people who'll be better of with a weaker pound are the James Dysons, not you and me.

yes, there is some turbulence but the market has priced the value of the Pound (and your purchasing power and mine) the whole 13% down because where we are heading. The market is usually correct, we either have to change our heading or it will get even worse.

I am frankly amazed that some brexiters on here still can't see that Brexit hurts the Pound in your pocket. Wholesale price of gas has gone up 29%. Hello? do you have to wait until the bill hits your floormat?

there is only one word that would bring back much needed foreign investors: 'Norway'. The conservative membership must not vote for that idiot Leadsom.

I don't think any plan could have stopped traders manipulating the market after a momentous event such as this. The question is, how long before the Pound recovers? the last time time Pound fell off the cliff was in August 2008. The Pound fell from $2, by January 2009, it was $1.38, 62c drop in...

no if you are 50+.

when is it going to find the bottom? FTSE250 and the Pound drop to new low. I am worried.

apparently Leadsom is slightly ahead in one member on vote. We could have that idiotic woman for Prime Minister in September/October. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/conservative-leadership-contest-andrea-leadsom-in-car-crash-performance-at-first-hustings_uk_577aaacae4b0f7b55795b23f

do you regret the result? apparently 44% think it's the wrong result against 43%. More importantly, 11% of people who voted for leave may not vote the same way today. Source: Ipsos MORI.

does it feel better or worse since we voted to leave? you can listen to Hatti @ woosh on BBC Essex this morning commenting on how businesses are affected by brexit. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y988p#play?t=1h08m

if you transit from push bikes to electrics then a crank drive or a light assist geared hub is a good choice. Your maximum budget of £1,300 excludes all the quality European made crank drives, only the Woosh Bali (http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bali) would fall within £1,000 budget. Light assist best...

I am sorry that Cameron is going. Replacing him with anyone of the five candidates will not help us in the next 2 years. None of them strikes me as intelligent and charismatic. My choice would have been Philip Hammond if he were to run.

cookie, Woosh bikes are sold at much lower margin than other brands on the market. When the value of the Pound drops, woosh have far less margin cushion than their competitors. They have to put up their prices sooner or risk selling at below operating cost (goods and freight in $ + selling...
