    How come the pound is dipping when we have so many experts?

    Shouldn't they have predicted this?

    Experts? Poppyc.ock

    Well, I voted ‘remain’… and clearly haven’t got the result I was hoping for!

    The public have spoken…

    I say lets all get behind the result and show those pesky europeans what we're made of..!:D


    P.S. I might not check my share portfolio for a few weeks!:eek:

    The experts predicted the carnage that would ensue if we voted to leave. What they were unable to predict was the will of the British public. Even the bookies couldn't get that right.

    You mean the will of the English public?

    No, the Welsh vote went the same way. There were regions of England and Wales that came out on the side of remain, and parts of Northern Ireland that came out on the side of Brexit. Many in Scotland also voted for Brexit and all Welsh, Northern Irish and Scottish votes counted towards the result.

    Okay, English (excluding London) and Welsh.

    The SNP and Sinn Fein are already calling for referendum on Scotland and Northern Ireland.

    Hope you wanted the breakup of the UK when you voted Leave.

    I am so disappointed I think this is the start of the breakup of the U.K. All Eu politics aside I really don't want to see Scotland go their own way or a United Ireland.
