Give it a couple of years, they will be worthless everywhere

Don't be such a pessimist: I'm confident that in a couple of years the pound will be worth at least as much as the Indian rupee!

And even the Scottish pound is sure to be worth more than the Vietnamese Dong!

I think you'll find a few other EU members wanting to give two fingers to the EU. The UK has simply "reintroduced" them to the gesture and shown them how to make it.:)

Had it not been for all the Remain scaremongering the Brxit vote would have been much higher.

The dust will soon settle.

Actually, no.

If food and hotels in the Canaries (and elsewhere around the world) become much more expensive for people who earn in pounds, then many more of us will decide we can't afford a foreign holiday. That means that fewer people will be trying to book seats on flights from the UK to the Canaries, and so the air fare should come down.

I think that recent events demonstrate that what you call "scaremongering" was actually a factual statement about how the economy works, and the probable consequences of a sudden disruptive change. As always, Martin has been proved right.

I checked for lanzarote yesterday to go at the end of July and the flights were £800 cheaper then when I looked in February.

I have found that with canaries it is often best to book closer to departure.

Well with #IndyRef2 all but a certainty, and the independent Scotland probably joining the EU and taking the Euro, the Scottish pounds may well be worthless!

It might be to do with the fact that winter is the peak time for the Canaries and that is when the flights are expensive. I looked at a diy to Tenerife in November, and the flights from BHX were extortionate. Booked with Thomson in the end for a package. I couldn't make the figures add up otherwise. Personally, I wouldn't consider the Canaries in the summer months. The Mediterranean has better weather.

Some people just can't take it on the chin. We didn't believe the scare stories from the Remainers during the Referendum. So now the Referendum's over, and all some of the Remainers are doing is continuing to forecast doom and gloom in the future, why should we believe them now?

There's a bright future ahead, so aren't we best just getting on with it!

I'm putting all my money in medical technology, as soon as that £350m a week kicks in they'll be spending cash like a sailor on shore leave.

You heard it here first

Evidence?

I am merely following Martin's briefing (along with recent events on world markets). Anyway, the key argument for BREXIT was surely about the need to "get our country back", and many people around the world would argue that independence is worth more than any amount of money.
