Consumers are not spending



Three take aways have closed round here, I blame it on Brexit and not the 19 other take aways on the same street with no nightlife.

These cloths shops you mention are they big retailers or family owned?

All the leavers said it would have a short term negative effect, but freedom has a price.

It's also costing the rest of the world and that will help us out in negotiations.

There will always be business failures as there will always be successes!

Pubs have been shutting by the 10s of thousands over the past 20 years and are still shutting. We know that the Brewers can still make beer relatively cheap as seen in the supermarkets. The problem is greed from the Breweries in existing pubs, and a lessor/lower disposable income throughout the UK and the world in general, with people being more savvy as to how they spend their income. The point being is that casualties happened pre Referendum and are going to happen after the Referendum as more and more people try self employment, unfortunately the same/less money is going around, which means some will fail = nowt to do with Brexit.

Value added tax is just a name and I would think it will be retained in it's current form.

It won't make any difference to me. I go to Spain quite often but I never bring anything back with me. I only take my passport, phone and medication.
