starvin marvin Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Inflation, the dog that hasn't really barked post Brexit has now started to bite. Look forward to a rise in interest rates, certainly noticed a substantial rise in the cost of our shopping, discounting seasonal price variations.

Barryd999 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Problem is Dave it might seem cheap for wealthy motorhomers but what sort of rise in inflation, mortgage / interest rates, fuel and utilities can the average low paid or unemployed person endure? Most of them voted for Brexit but they sure dont want to pay for it. Oh dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were more convinced by "Vote Leave" that it was all "project fear" and chose to discount the experts warnings. The first chaos theory element of Brexit of course is that it didnt immediately happen and still hasnt so the impact was much less than anticipated as the experts predictions were based on the immediate invoking of article 50. Already though we are starting to see the impact slowly creep in. Who knows, project fear as it was called and all the experts could all be wrong and we will sail through it, leave the EU and all will be rosy but lets be honest, who really believes that? I suspect Project Fear has perhaps started to sink in a bit with some as possibly being project highly likely, hence the swing to remain.

Bulletguy Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Yes as the thread title reads "Dog Begins to Bite" and this isn't no soppy poodle pup biting either. Sonos hikes UK prices by 25% due to Brexit Electronics firm joins Apple and Microsoft on a growing list of companies that have announced significant price increases in the UK since the Brexit vote following the EU referendum. 25% is a massive increase. Inflation......Inflation......Inflation......and much much more yet to come as fuel prices increase post Brexit, the pound plummets and consumer costs get passed on to the customer as businesses can no longer absorb the increases. https://www.channel4.com/news/inflation-rises-following-eu-referendum Many small businesses will simply go to the wall throwing thousands of people out of work.

Why do you persist in comparing the pound ony with the Euro? The Euro is also negatively affected by Brexit (although not as much as the pound) If you want to see the effect of Brexit, at least compare it with an external currency like the US Dollar - which most commodities are priced in, or better still a trade weighted basket of currencies.
