    Now that've I just begun work in Berlin and paid in euros it's not great news to be sure, although my 1st invoice shall not be written some 3-4 months into the contract.

    By which time I'm telling myself, the election is over and the real truth of our situation is out to the world, how then do you think the pound will fair? I'm really not looking forward to Q3 Q4

    Rent in Berlin is cheap, food seems cheap too and whilst I'm earning/spending the euro it feels like the better place to be in, I've only been here a few days the Germans I'm speaking too seem really friendly - I can see why folks get stuck our here for the long term.

        You lot advised against a Euro mortgage.

          I just heard from Max Keiser that short positions on the euro are at an all time high.

                      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
