The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money

Yep we've dumped on our currency big time but the whole point (as far as I know - being a half-wit English bloke) was to get rid of the EU courts and them having rules over our elected joke of a party (Boris you are so cool, just like Donald)

It amazes me Gribley that everyone has a different meaning on what Brexit is?? The question still stands, and you are on the ground there, is leaving the EU going to affect you in a positive or negative wayOriginally Posted by Gribley

And Cabby showing your currency price dropped and it was way worse, did it affect you personally, if you don't mind me asking??

All change has ups and downs.

If he wanted to go to Spain for his winter vacation, chances are it affects him very much since the devaluation of the pound makes his trip more expensive. if he likes to stay in Yorkshire, maybe not so much. Unless there are a whole bunch of Americans who like to take advantage of their cheaper vacation options and cause the hotel rooms in Yorkshire to become more expensive (supply/demand you know), so then, yes, even then he'd be affected.
Those bananas he likes to eat for breakfast? Imported, which means more expensive. That replacement part for his BMW that he needs? Imported, so more expensive.
Those bankers who got laid off in the city? Drawing unemployment and not contributing to her majesty's revenue, so less money available for the NHS.
So yes, even if it is not obvious, it affects him personally.

That makes sense buddy, i was just curious really that when your Currency/Pound did loose some value, did it change any costing living in the UK??
I do understand that policies/agendas in government parties, are going to make changes, but the question is how much is it really going to change??
That i guess is always the scary thing Gribley.....
Another question i like to ask you, do you use the local currency or the Euro ?? I would assume both are pretty much accepted no??

UK is pound sterling only, no euros.

Well inflation, cost of goods etc, thinking that every currency fluctuates, costs are going to change no matter what no Cabby??
What i would say is how drastic?? Again the UK separating is not going to make it Venezuela
And you assumptions can be applied to any import to any country, especially if it is not produced or made locally?? As i said many times you can go to Walmart and buy fruit and vegetables or you can go to a higher priced grocery store, again the fruit may come from the same place but there is different grade qualities right...
So saying that you base everything on assumptions of the EU being better, but until there is a split, there is no proof. Especially when you see different views and projections on both sides..
Right now are you getting any or using any international petroleum/gas/oil/natural gas products in the US?? Has the price gone down?? or are you seeing any benefits from that?? Really what fruit or vegetable can't be grown in the US somewhere?? Yet you still get imports right??
If a GM, Ford, Chrysler car/truck etc is built in the US do you save any money?? If i go to a dealership for Toyota or Lexus here is it different from going to one in the US (except dollar evaluation)...
Again costs can and will change, positive and negative, but i don't think to a degree that makes the separation/Brexit the biggest issue. Getting rid of EU control and controlling borders is more the issue..
But hey what do i know right

Really i didn't know that, that is interesting, what other countries don't accept the Euro and is part of the Eu??
I always thought that any country that is part of the EU the euro is accepted?? Does the Euro influenced by the countries that are part of the EU??
Edit: Cabby can you answer this buddy, the way you comment you make it seem that the EU gets no benefits from UK being a member??
Is that true?? So will that not affect everyone that is part of the EU in a positive or negative way??

I have never said that the EU is not getting any benefits from UK membership, quite the contrary. Germany, for example, being a net exporter of goods benefits from a larger internal market for its products. Free flow of goods, people and capital benefits everyone. Standardization of technical specifications, wider application of laws and all that jazz do not impede trade; more trade generally means growing economies, a greater tax base and hence more services for the population. So yes, the UK leaving would affect the EU in a negative way.
As for the Euro countries, look here: https://europa.eu/european-union/abo...es-use-euro_en
