A month ago I was going to buy a computer and monitor from a well known store but they had just run out of stock. It's back in now £150 dearer due to falling pound. And brexit ain't even started.

Do we need to banish this to the realm of the politics forum or is this just a vent?

Pretty sure the pound hasn't fallen that much, sometimes manufacturers do deals if the stores take x qty because they want to shift a volume of stock quickly

Now that lot have gone it's back to normal

Expect more of the same and worse consumer protection and rights, like many others. Shafted but some of the swivel eyed lot are happy

I suspect it is the rising prices of memory chips causing the increase.... Ram alone has in some cases doubled in price as higher speed is required... I wont even get started on graphics cards and vram prices... Oh bugger it....

One manufacturer ONE! Makes the only ram for the modern series of amd/ati cards... Price gouging is rampant at the moment...

So all in all probably a lot less to do with brexit than initially thought.

And in other news, the Pope just got gay married to Donald Trump.

Is this what pro-Brexit delusion looks like in real life? Blatant denial of indisputable facts? Sterling fell below 1.10 against the Euro over the last few weeks. It was close to 1.20 a couple of months ago. Any exchange website with a rate history feature will show you this on a graph.

There are only two currencies performing worse than Sterling right now: the Mexican Peso and the Turkish Lira. Perhaps you were comparing it to those.

I'm still pretty sure that the pound hasn't devalued that much it's made things £150 dearer though what makes you think it's anything at all to do with Brexit OP?

you are right... it is the highest its been in 12 months...

still not as high as it was before "that" vote mind..... its still about 15% lower than in was "then"...

and its only likely to be increasing now because inflation is higher because we don't get the same value from the pound as we did (and god bless them, they specifically said that in this months inflation report....) , which means that the Bank of england interest rates are likely to go up....

yey..... but everything is still costing us more than it did... whoopee.... and home owners may now start fearing that if interest rates go up... mortgage rates are likely to follow....

God forbid interest rates went up,savers might actually get some return,and if a rise from the low and historically long period of interest on mortgages is enough to cause people concern/bother over their ability to repay,either they should look to their income/expense ratio or not buy house they can't afford?
