GBP - How low will it go?

[CryingSheep]

I guess all of which could eventually be made in the UK in future after Brexit. Come to think of it, how many components of our cars made in pre EU times were made in this country?

Sure, at a lower quality and higher cost...

[jamesbrown]

that would only serve to strengthen my position!

Yup, eventually.

All we need is to overhaul the education system so that we produce people capable of designing and making the products
Then we need to create a manufacturing industry that isn't sold off to financiers who want to make sure they get all the profit out with scant regard for reinvesting.

So, that's maybe 25-30 years.

forecast the lottery nos.? no, hang on, that would only strengthen my position, but I'd certainly post less!

agreed, then at that point we would be much more able to compare our lot with those in the EU.

quality might have been lower pre-EU days, but they were certainly cheaper, as was almost everything else that was made in the UK at that time when compared to the EU. Note that Dacia cars are not very good, but they sell like hot cakes because they are inexpensive.

If you want money to post less, I think we could put together a willing consortium. Could we contract you to visit Pluto?

But we are not in the pre-EU times anymore... The investment to, all of a sudden, create an entire industry to build those components would be enormous!

Conveniently close to Cape Canaveral.
