Notch has trouble sourcing tomatoes.
I drove to France last week and despite what the anti-Brexit scaremongers on here said……

That's your ringing endorsement of Brexit? To ask if anyone is worse off? I haven't particularly, but I don't need nursing care (yet), a dentist (mine is a local); or a specialist doctor.

I notice you won't tell us whether your trip was more expensive than it would have been prior to the change in exchange rates since June 2016...
Close to that date you could get up to 1.40 Euros to the pound....
Now even with massive hikes in interest rates which normally boosts a country's currency, you'd be lucky to get 1.16 Euro's to the pound...
Seems to me that you would have paid more in your few days over there than your yearly EU membership fee...
But maybe your maths isn't up to working that out - we all lost!

But the costs of imports have gone up due a devalued currency and the extra costs of not belonging to the largest trading bloc around...
So you are worse off, but maybe you just don't realise it?
Plus the losses due to the removal of freedom of movement/travel/work/education are unable to be quantifiable in monetary terms!

lack of produce, for various reasons, brexit included.
Higher prices, same reasons.
More awkward travel, try taking a dog on a quick trip abroad.
Loss of work, try taking a van of tools across the channel now.
No. It was 1.29 on the night of the referendum. I know that 100% because when it was obvious what the result was going to be and the pound was predicted to drop, I ordered £2000's worth online from Thomas Cook around 3.00 in the morning and collected it a couple of days later.
Well stop banging on about the exchange rate then you hypocritical plum.
The pound might not be worth as much as it was in 2016, but 7 years later, you seem surprised that things are more expensive. Are you stupid?
The 140 was hiked up by the markets as they always do just before a vote . The average rate for 2016 was 122 much closer to todays rate than suits you
Thanks, will do. Hope to be giving a fish's eye view from my pool when it eventually happens.

Why are you Brexxers still travelling to Europe, you should be travelling further afield to Asia and America or are you a bunch of cheapskates who can't afford proper holidays.
I think your teas ready.
