Why should I now buy from China, as I have always done when sterling will only buy 75% of what I was paying 1 year ago...why should I buy sterling with euros at equal parity.......no bloody way.
Sterling will have a deep effect on many currencies and many people who would have taken sterling in the past as a reliable currency will no longer take it.
We are and the pound is in a mess.
As an addiition to my last post, I am nearing the age of seventy and my life in the commercial world will end on !!th June.
I owe nothing and no-one owes me anything...a nice position to be in.
Good luck in the future to the ones who aspire to start a business and to the ones who keep their jobs.
Good advise to all...keep your eye on the ball and dont let the barstewards get you down.
