To be shocked and horrified by the shit exchange rate?

[BrexitBingoGenerator]

Thanks Boris.

We are in France this week- it’s cost us over 80 quid to fill the car and our food shops are extortionate. A bag of oranges was nearly £5 and it cost £50 for three of us to go to the waterpark. A Belgian family there said that they have just come back from Britain and stocked up on shoes, clothes and even Christmas presents for their family because the euro to sterling exchange rate is now so good (for them, not for us).
Everything seems so much more expensive than this time last year- is this what we are to expect now?

Living the brexit - brink dream 🙄

I gotta say, my Brexit worries don’t include the price of wine.

Don’t blame Boris. Blame the people who voted for Brexit

@Magnetic, I think you'll find the £ still has quite a way to fall yet. Particularly when we get close to Halloween and there are no treats for any of us, only a shedload of the most horrible tricks any of have ever seen.....

You probably voted leave too. It was never a surprise to me that this would happen.

Taking back control, my arse.

@Genevieva

Overall EU visitors to the UK are down - that's what Visit Britain are reporting from the International Passenger Survey. Whether they are further down in London and up elsewhere may be (and Visit Britain have been actively marketing the delights of the rest of the country along with local tourist boards, so I'm glad the spend is paying off).

Yawn zzzzzzzzz..........

Problems are there to be solved.

Moaning gets you nowhere.

Be adaptable and intelligent

Good luck with the postings.....

For every person that worries about this sort of thing, there are 50 that don’t.

Surely that's part of the problem. Maybe if more people had worried about the social and economic consequences of a no deal Brexit, it wouldn't be looming ever closer.

Don’t blame Boris. Blame the people who voted for Brexit
So still Boris then? Or don't you think he voted for it!?

Problems are there to be solved

Absolutely.

That's why we have campaigned to stay in the EU, and why we still are.

We export more to the US than to any other country.
If we crash out without a deal and break the Good Friday Agreement, which is an international peace treaty, our trade with the US will cease.
The eu will not trade with us until we sign the Withdrawal Agreement. That will not only affect trade with eu countries but other countries outside the eu which the eu has negotiated trade deals with.
Basically we’ll be fucked.

That rate is not much worse than last year this time afaik.
So moan about not being able to afford to buy stuff in France is bit... Well, not really Boris's fault🤷 And I am not even his fan!
If we say it costs you 50 eur, so £46 and last year it would have cost £45🤷

I don't like Brexit, but come on...

It’s called taking back control. Apparently.

Yes this is the reality of Brexit now. All to be expected.

That rate is not much worse than last year this time afaik.

It's at a two year low

I read the daily mail and I can't be bothered to be informed.

I'm a pretty dumb person who is bored of the reality of the economic situation because I don't understand it so it's easier for me to stick my fingers in my ears..

Yea.

Well done you. You sound incredibly stupid.

@Happysummer2020 was 1.08 late last august, so still 0.01 to go.
I am not saying it's not shit compare to before referendum. Only stupid would say that. Just pointing out that unless op was there last time in about 2015 it's not that different.

France is bloody overpriced anyway.

people in France think we are twats

Tbf this is not new

Being Irish and living in the UK, it feels like my wallet is being hammered seven ways from Sunday every time I visit my family in Dublin. It's painful.

It depends where you go. I have been going to Japan yearly since 2010. In 2010 it cost me £8 to get a 1000 yen (I can’t work it out the other way round!) in what I called the “golden years” it cost me £6 to get 1000 yen. When Brexit was announced it got more expensive again before getting cheaper. Now it’s back to nearly £8 per 1000 yen again. So no worse than 2010. But not great either. But I have confidence that it will improve again,

On the other hand, I have been going to Switzerland since I was a kid (I have family there). I can clearly remember getting 4 Swiss francs for every £1. Now you only get just over 1 Swiss franc per £.

The moral of the story being that you need to shop smart in terms of the places you go on holiday of you want to make the most of your spending money,

I think the moral of the story is revoke article 50.
