    In today's news CBI reporting booming retail sales and UK tourism and booming motor export orders well up on the same time last year.

    There will be no crash, only property in the Tiger economy

    China has been devaluing the RMB to maintain a competitive edge. Exporting deflation in the process. Which will create other problems globally.


    Global deflation means that UK inflation could be much less than pundits would like us to believe?

    Brexit pushes up price of bacon butty as China takes advantage of weak sterling to buy British pork
    The price of a bacon butty has dramatically increased after Brexit as China snaps up Britain's pork supply and takes advantage of the UK's weak sterling.
    Pork suppliers have revealed they had bumped up the price of a pack of British smoked bacon by as much as 38 per cent since the beginning of August, causing price increases for Britons of up to 19 per cent.

    Luckily we can look forward to matching massive wage increases, once our Tiger economy takes shape. :)
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Perhaps we need a 'Blamed on Brexit' thread to capture all the bad things that Brexit has caused.

    Can I start with the bank holiday weather? When we were in the EU it was always hot (but not too hot), and sunny whereas the forecast for this weekend is only average with some cloud and showers. Still you lot all voted for Brexit, the impact on the bank holiday weather was forecast by the experts you chose to ignore, so having made your bed please lie in it without complaint.....
    I think....

    Exporting is good.
    And if bacon butties become too expensive for our natives, they can always switch to quorn butties.
    Or just butties.
