    NLyUK wants to ensure all the STIs her workers are inflicting on people cleaned up.

    Though she's probably going to have a staffing problem when we leave the EU as Brits tend to be fatter than Eastern Europeans.

        Perhaps the government should shut up about Brexit because anytime anyone says anything the pound drops another 1/2 %

        In more news, in the future low paid, low skilled jobs will be done by Britons.

        Judging from the referendum result, makes sense really.

          Good news for manufacturers. Bankers, not so much.

          I sense some disagreement between Hammond and May

            So we have to start doing some of the manual stuff we did in the olden days? If I had realised I would have voted Remain.

            And we did notice the massive impact the lower value of Sterling has had on manufacturing, didn't we? Manufacturing PMI at 55.4 Apparently this was unexpected by 'experts'. Boosted by lower Sterling.

              Certainly that's good for manufacturers, lets hope it's enough.

              Brexit: Investors see danger in U.K.'s plan - Oct. 3, 2016

              Self-inflicted dislocations with its major market -- when the U.K. already carries a high level of public debt, a large current account deficit and severe imbalances across major sectors -- are unwise, to put it mildly
              Pound dropped again this morning. Investors are unnerved.

                As I am paid in Euros, I would like there to be daily comments from Brexit High Command

                  Flipping heck you're no kidding. Last time I looked it was last week, sure it was around €1.17 now €1.14

                  This will more than hurt exporters soon enough after the raw materials dry up.

                      If my business depended on exports I'd plan for the future and buy up as much raw material before the currency crashes further. The PMI is not an indication of economic strength on this occasion.
