It was mentioned on Radio 4, about noon today, that ex-pat pensioners are finding their UK pensions buy10% less Euros than they did before the vote to leave.
In these difficult times will they just need to tighten their belts?

Retro...drivel, and nothing whatsoever to do with this thread.

Why do you always have to be so offensive ?

retrocop

Every thing to do with your post on this thread. You said Brexiters concerns were to do with getting rid of nasty immigrants. That is untrue and offensive and I refute that. I told you my reasons and probably many others onthis site are of the same reason. Are we all racist liars?

retrocop

Horrid foreigners were your actual words. My mistake

But why are you so offensive?

Everytime you come back to AB, after being suspended, I have given you a unqualified welcome, and yet you are always so vituperative.

Retro....my use of "horrid foreigners" was meant as an ironic comment, which perhaps you didn't catch.

I think the concern was that we were an open house to the horrid foreigners rather than (for sane voters anyway) getting rid of any horrid foreigners who were already here (unless they were here on our welfare).

retrocop

Perhaps you should choose your words more carefully when you set out to insult others and stop spinning when taken to task. Was it not you only yesterday that said to many take offence and I replied your words would come back to haunt you? Now that is Irony :-)

The inference by most remainers who are still bitter sore losers is that the Brexit campaigners are racist. I will refute that accusation and explain my position. It is not I and other Brexiters who bring the race card into the debate. That is all I wish to say.

The current GBP-EUR exchange rate is 1.1722, down 7.5% on this time last month. Before then, the 32 months from 1 Nov 2013 had seen the rate consistently higher than 1.1722

Earlier snapshots:

10 July 2013 ... 1.1516 (1.7% lower)
10 July 2012 ... 1.2605 (7.5% higher)
10 July 2011 ... 1.1284 (3.7% lower)
10 July 2010 ... 1.1918 (1.5% higher)
10 July 2009 ... 1.1645 (0.7% lower)

and between 3 Dec 2008 and 3 May 2010 (17 months) there were only 27 individual days with a better rate than that of today.

How were ex-pats surviving back then?
