Im fine, maybe you think that reality is project fear as well? I wouldnt be surprised. Youve shown yourself up to be a complete idiot this week (more so than usual, heat Im guessing) .

It's fallen yes, but could fall for any number of reasons. Linking it to Brexit is pathetic.
Look at the performance of the pound since Brexit, when did they report it's rise and link it to Brexit?

Okay. If it’s not due to Brexit related concerns, what is causing the drop. There’s a reason, or reasons, so what is causing it?
So. You don’t know the reason, but you’re happy to discount Brexit as being one of them . Okay.

Must be the heat making the pound wilt.

It's such a small drop as to almost be not newsworthy, but possibly interest rates, maybe the USA policies , maybe influence by the Bank of England. If you're going to link all falls to Brexit you have to link all increases as well. Anyway should be better for you as you don't even live here so you can buy our goods cheaper.
Do you make anything?

So, nothing to do with fears of the almost ridiculous when you think about it... no deal?
I did ask earlier about wtf we do if there is a 'no deal'... expected some sort of response from the more hardline brexiteers, but nothing.

Any reason why your graph starts in August 2016 and not June 2016?
Maybe this, maybe that. So you don’t know do you? Best retract your statement them.

No
It's a 2 year graph, today is August 8th, so it runs from there. I was illustrating that the pound has risen and fallen, not what it has done since Brexit where we all now it immediately fell. I am only talking about the BBC even bothering to report this and why they are blaming Brexit. Your point is therefore irrelevant.
You're clearly now on the edge of your knowledge of the subject. No one can ever be sure about small movements in the pound, because it can be caused large trading, it can be caused by dealers sentiment. Only large scale drops like that experienced immediately after the Brexit vote can be attributed to one event, not this minor drop.

I also why you care if you don't even live here? You're doing far less for our economy than every person that voted out.

...but if out means out.. then what?
Surely that’s down to Mark “safe hands” Carney’s astute intervention? I dread to think what would have happened had he not stepped in

The Great Britain pound dropped today after a UK official signaled about a possibility of the “hard” Brexit.
As the date of the final separation of the United Kingdom from the European Union draws closer, chances that the UK and the EU will reach a trade deal before the deadline of March 2019 diminish. Pessimism increased after Trade Secretary Liam Fox said that there is 60% chance of the “no-deal” outcome, blaming “intransigence” of EU officials for that. As a result, the market started to price in a hard Brexit.
From Forex News 6th August, why do Brexiteers deny such things?

Mrs T, must be turning in her grave.
Meanwhile sterling is sub USD1.30 for second year running in the middle of the holiday season. More pain for ordinary folks
Brexit just keeps on giving...
