Nigel, as you know you have a reputation on this site of being a bit (lot) of being a pedant.

I responded to your earlier submission that there was a suggest by reminers that "the pound would 'tank'" after the vote to leave Europe had occured and according to you had not done so.

I suggested that in actual fact the pound had indeed "tanked" immediately after Brexit.

I also notice that you have failed to respond to my reply.

So, please tell me, if the pound had dropped from about 1.32 Euro to the pound to 1.20 Euro to the pound, given in mind that a change of 1/2 a cent or 1 cent is considered plummeting or soaring, what is a drop of 12 cents overnight.

I might also add that as of today I can get a mere 1.15 Euro to the pound, a consierable drop from the 1.32 Euro I could have received pre Brexit.
