"Soi-disant" came from a Nigel post, actually. I didn't need no forrin climes. I got it from an actual Tory heartlander, from Little England itself! If you spent a bit more time reading threads and a bit less time looking for trouble we'd all find life a bit sweeter. Finally, before you deign to seek out MY deficiencies in English, perhaps you should remember that "well-educated" requires a hyphen. :-)

The pound collapsed immediately after the referendum because of the poll result. It did not collapse because of any EU machinations. There hadn't been time for any of those before the collapse took place. Unless you have a conspiracy theory to back up that claim, of course!
