Pound falls again - Jiggly - 06-27-2016
As most of you will know by now, the UK voted to leave the EU. While we haven't actually left yet, and the process will take years (2 minimum), there is uncertainty about the country's future. This means the inevitable drop in the pound. At the moment it's £0.75 to $1.00 which is the lowest it's been in something like 30 years I believe. Earlier this year it was around £0.69 to $1.00. Basically, if you're going on a trip to the UK, buy your pounds now!
Apparently the currency sales have gone up 400% due to the value of the pound. Again, not surprised.

Since we haven't left yet all this proves is that big business is hysterical at change. And this is making regular people go "OH GOD OH FUCK NO, IT'S ALL OVER WHY COULDN'T WE OF JUST SUBMITTED TO THE EUUUU!!!!!" when in actual fact it has been 3 days. 3 months with out any sort of recovery or stabilization is a slightly better time to panic not 3 days.

Panic can snowball when it comes to economics. It'll probably stabilize.

Why are people bothered about this? Think of all the other things that will be coming to the UK and stopping people coming. Also we should get the security that AUS has

I've been saying this for years. Suddenly now we've left (well not technically left yet) everyone is saying this.

At the least, you're saving 350m a week.

I've been saying the same, and everyone was like " you will not get that here."
