After the love has gone......

This is ridiculous - I'm also seeing suppliers starting to increase their costs - the vast majority of my detailing gear comes from the USA - now more expensive.

My brake pads come from Germany - now more expensive.

My race tyres come from Japan - now more expensive.

As supplies dry up then I suspect things I get from china (cloths, tint films etc.) will also go up in cost.

I keep hearing that exports are doing well to the weak £.... how many businesses only operate domestically / only import compared to how many export? Where do exporters get their raw materials - we don't have any here any more?

Also I wonder how the EDF Hinckley Point 200% wholesale electricity price gamble will hold up if the £ is still weak when it comes online in 2347.

The original plan for Hinkley C was that it would be generating by about this time next year.....

Plans aren't necessary any more, you just make the decision then work backwards.

You also have to factor in rip-off merchants. It's not just because of Brexit.

A 10% increase is an obvious change due to the £/$ rate, most suppliers work n dollars and the exchange rate drop was a direct result of brexit so thats a given. Anything much more than 10% is rip off merchants.

Depends who you mean. My OH buys from outside the EU, or at least her suppliers do. The Chinese seem to link their prices to the dollar, hence I can understand a price rise.

I'm due to renew mine ran out in April but I expect it won't be changed if at all for some time yet.

The former head of the passport office used to live just outside Stafford

Which is nice

We'll just have to sell more Range Rovers and JCBs to them.
I suppose it's where your support lies but the consensus view is that Brexit hasn't had such a massive shock to the economy than what was expected. Time will tell though.
