POST BREXIT

Probably debt collection agencies

Which areas of the economy are blooming?

I realy cannot understand any of you. Since the vote, I have to say my world has lookedfar morepositive. I am normally quite a depressed person anyway ( naturally not illness led). But everything seems to have suddenly looked somuch better.

Even my dh has got a job! He didnt ask for it. It came to him.He was forced to retire when he was 58 because his work wanted to shed people and decided to shed the oldies. He is 66 and just going back to work. My job has suddenly become safer too. I was told on Monday. ( It needs to be given I was one of those stuck with the whammy of the pension scam on women - and where were the EU in that debacle.... like with their money, nowhere to be seen).

Get over yourselves. There is life after that vote and some areas of the economy are now beginning to boom. Stop reading the daily gloom!

Can you give more detail as to your post 09.51 please.

No worries for the Cameron and Johnson families though, they're alright Jack.
Definitely agree that no politician should be taking a holiday until this crisis is settled.
Also very much on my mind about how badly leading politicians did their job when they started the war with Iraq. Not for this thread though, sorry.

Yep- High Finance in the City already on the move. Paris, Frankfurt, Geneva- this is happening right now.

The sheer stupidity of calling a referendum just before the House goes into recess and the whole political system closes for 2 months!!! Beggars belief- and really shows no-one thought, at all, in a century of Sundays, Brexit would be voted through. Thy hope for a 60/40 - just enough to be a bargaining tool.

The House of Lords are discussing the issues today, including the possibility of a second referendum.

All leave, holidays, etc, should be cancelled and both Houses must stay opened.

The rest of Europe is being seriously affected by the uncertainty- and they therefore DO have the right to insist that the UK gets on with it, one way or another.

Switzerland is affected in the 'reverse' way- everyone in the UK is trying to stash their money here and the Swiss FRanc is rising again. It is already far too high (last resort of all squoundresl around the sorld) .. and it is terrible for manufacturing and exports, and tourism too. I work (volunteer) with 2 local Museums with CEOs and owners of big businesses- who have lost 20 to 30% this year due to the high Swiss franc and many workers have had to be laid off (most of those from France, and other EU countries).

Uncertainty is bad for the UK- but it is bad for all in Europe.

In the FT to-day a story about the French trying to steal our succcessful Banking industry by offering incentives to the Banks to base themselves in Paris. The UK meltdown will start if this goes ahead.

Bound to be a week or so of shock/gloom/ blame etc, but agree it cannot go on for too long.Things will become better when both political parties have a new leader, and we have started legally to leave the EU, until then it all seems a bit 'up in the air' never a good thing for a country or financial markets.Meanwhile......at least it's Summer.

Reading reference to HS2 I live just off the proposed route, and to add my MP Andrea Leadsom who is standing for PM is opposed to it being built.
Think it will the UK with the exit , hard as to going it alone, but we have not got there yet the powers to be are still fighting amongst themselves , no wonder mainland Europe classes Brits as crazy English people.
Who do not know what they want.

Yes, I speaking to a produce grower earlier this year. She spoke highly of Lidl as they had been given a guaranteed contract for the quantity and the price, unlike some of the other supermarkets who could and did turn round at the last minute and say we don't want the goods now. The one that had treated them the worst was M and S. I was shocked.

Currently Aldi and Lidl are better situated than some of the big supermarkets because they already have very good British supply chains in place. Those (like Tesco) that source a lot of basic stuff from Europe may run into trouble.

Can't have any of those pesky foreigners coming over here, selling our food.

They also have Italian and Greek weeks - here in France they sell a lot if French produce - cereals and fish are quite different to that which they sell in UK

Ye GillT57, a foreign company advertising buy British. Not a British company advertising buy British.

Probably they all ought to go home and take their foreign food with them, Gill.

Obieone Lidl and Aldi have always sold British produced food, it is clearly labelled and of excellent quality and I really dont understand your comment? Is it because a foreign supermarket is doing it?

Mini, where are you? Where are my girls??? Soft and hard landings! I'm off to cook now. Shall tune in tonight.

Yup. Plimsolls on everyone!

Is it the school holidays already?

Oh Anya you spelt it right, you're learning

Very anal Gononsuch if I may agree with your last post

I can't believe how "soft" the country has become.
I may not agree with your specifcs in your post Jackthelad, but I so agree with the sentiment.

I did laught though at the irony of Lidl advertising buy British! But at least they have got off the blocks and done something.

Oh anal mass extermination includes you
