Success

I'm surprised at those Poll results. Most people are saying they think it's been a success, and yet here we are months since the referendum and the doom mongers are still starting threads saying the world may be coming to an end.

Same doom mongers that went 'see, this is Wat you voted for' when the pound dropped? Only to realise that this was actually a benefit to the UK

Not that most brevity voters would have known that

What's clearly happened since the vote, is it's become obvious that most people have not one clue as to how the economy works in the UK, Frim Both voting sides, and just went with who sounded best in the run up to the vote.

Too early to say. The real fun hasn't even started yet. Most people aren't seeing any consequence of the vote.

When their grocery shopping is 5-10% higher this time next year (and it will, I'm already pushing through price increases) then maybe the view will be different.

Can do, but unbeknown to the average public - we have a perfect storm of increasing food commodity raw material inflation, plus currency fluctuations.

As much as we'd like to believe we are, we are in no way self sufficient with regards to raw materials in food in this country.

how much do you think this perfect storm will increase inflation by?

Specific inflation figure? Who knows.

Food, I estimate anywhere between 5-10%. Maybe more.
