If we leave, the € will fall harder than the £.

JPY is considered the safe haven flow, already seeing the € tanking against the ¥....

10% move down for GBP would make some nice coin.

If it stays there for a year then it will get me a nice free car.

Keep voting LEAVE you fools!

Did I say free car? I meant to say free cat and a sofa for it to sleep on.

If there is a LEAVE vote then I expect to buy a few rows of houses for 5 dollars.

I've got my currency account open and ready to buy a shed load of Euro's when it tanks!
