The pound against the Euro is hardly soaring. On the day of the referendum the rate was 1.30 euros to the Pound. i transferred £1,000 to my dad yesterday and the rate was 1.164. This is a lower rate than when I went on holiday to Spain at the beginning of August. Just more spin.

Sod the anti brexiters (new term) fact is the low rate of the pound benefits tourism in our country, I noticed visitors to Edinburgh coming not only from America but from many eu countries and including fellow Brits holidaying at home, the foreign visitors are all stating the value of our currency is great for them, the Americans are loving it, they're spending more, it's the likes of our trade and other businesses of the local economy that are raking it in, I'll take that :D

I note both the Greens and the SNP both want another referendum as they lost the last one.

Clearly democracy only applies when they win.

I voted to stay. However as the majority voted to leave I am happy to leave it at that. I hate the idea of another referendum. I would just like us to get on with the job and invoke article 50.

I voted YES but tend to agree, let's get on with the job, independence is independence after all :wink:
