    Was that the Leeds United football team?

    Fireworks and smoky coal.

    'Spoons can have some jolly interesting clientele, but generally I rather like them and you know that you can get a pint of cask ale. In fact the last one I visited had pints of cask at £1.65.

    Yep, if I were to guess, I'd expect a bounce, but it may not be particularly large or long-lived (unlike a Brexit, which would result in a profound and sustained decline). It depends on the margin of victory. A close Bremain will raise questions about the sustainability of the current Gov't.

    Meh. Fine by me, I mainly export. The Pound will find an appropriate level. Bear in mind, Cable is down 15% from the July 2014 high anyway, and 30% down from the pre-crash peak. Even if there's a Bremain, the Pound is likely to decline in the medium-term, following an initial spike up. Currencies move. Nothing to see here, unless you're "economically illiterate"

    That's why I probably wouldn't short after brexit. Buy the rumour, sell the fact.
