    You really do appear to have a determination to appear bullied when evidence in this thread very clearly shows you to be the perpetrator so - for the benefit of both Wotsthat and yourself - if anyone else is really that interested may I suggest that you read from post # 15041 onwards as a starting point.


    Again I add that posting in a public forum and then requesting not to be quoted is at best inappropriate.
    If you do not wish something you say to be used against you, don't say it.
    Simple, really as well as obvious.

    If anyone tried to prosecute me for passing on information they themselves put into the public domain I would laugh in their face. (edit: and maybe sue for loss of earnings due to time off work because of the stress of being harassed over something perfectly legal).

    Such a severe lack of knowledge around data protection.

    Prices in the UK’s App Store are set to rise 25 percent as the pound continues to lose value after Brexit. According to a letter sent to Apple developers reported by 9to5Mac and confirmed by The Verge, the cost of the former cheapest apps will rise from £0.79 to £0.99, while the next tier of prices will be bumped from £1.49 to £1.99, and games like Super Mario Run which previously cost £7.99 will now set UK customers back £9.99.

    Not bad news for me or I suspect many on this thread.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    Hipsters won't be bothered, what's a couple of quid on a credit card.

    I doubt Apple will be reducing the prices if this continues as is being forecast:

    The latest inflation figures seem to have been missed by this thread.
    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/pound-slump-pushes-inflation-to-highest-since-july-2014-a7530906.html

    1.6%. Is the new level. It will all wash out in 12 months time. So should be OK.

    I hope the pound does not become overvalued again as Tricky is suggesting.

    Inflation at 1.6%. A two year high but not bad.
    More so if you consider that the average pay increase is now 2.5%.
    With new figures soon.

    I think that we have seen the end of an overvalued pound, at least for the foreseeable future, gfplux.
    IMO this is the markets steadying, nothing more.

    You mean those small towns where there is no work, like, Ebbw Vale, which has received hundreds and hundreds of millions of euros in grants and funding from the EU?

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jun/25/view-wales-town-showered-eu-cash-votes-leave-ebbw-vale
    ..

    There you go Toastie my mucker. Proof if any were needed that you and your London-centric socialites have lost these voters. Perhaps the EU was just the wrong villain at the wrong time. I frequently said having Cameron heading up Remain was a really bad move : Remain = London = Establishment. A case of "sticking it to the man".

    You don't even need to stick to Wales. Try visiting Rotherham or Doncaster or Sheffield or a bunch of other places. You get similar resentment.

    Future UKIP with a charismatic Trump style leader would mop up these votes like chunky bread n butter mops up the remnants of last night's cabbage stew.

    I don't believe I said it was overvalued. I have no idea as to the true value of sterling, if I did I probably wouldn't be on here but trading and making a fortune.

    I'm really looking forward to those disenfranchised leave voters in Rotherham, Doncaster and Ebbw Vale making a roaring success of Global Britain now they're free of the shackles of the EU.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    makes you rather a nastie piece of work doesn't it.
    wishing harm on people of the Uk : I guess no different from wishing harm on the people of developing countries.
