    The markets will have factored it in long ago mate, it won't make much difference to your £100 spending money<ok>

    <laugh> on a serious note, it really won't make much of a difference, the markets have known for weeks that Article 50 will be invoked on the 29th so there will be a slight wobble when it happens and then it will go back to pretty much where it was a the start of the day. Put it this way, it won't be like the day after the Brexit vote!

    In other words, the **** sandwich was prepared weeks okay, the people holding assets in £s are not expected to choke on it now. Not sure I agree; nothing really prepares you for the great taste of ****.

    You think the £/€ will change dramatically on the 29th?

    I know **** all about it tbh. Instinct tells me the UK economy is heading into a terrible **** storm, and it's probably a good time to be in the umbrella business. Whatever the **** that means.

    Without a doubt, the UK is going downwards but it won't take a drastic fall on the 29th I don't think. As I said, the markets have been factoring invoking article 50 for weeks and why wouldn't they? You'll see a drop in the pound when it actually happens and then people will see it has dropped and the big boys will buy to push it up again to almost what it was the previous day and then it will slowly decrease as the Brexit talks develop, would be me guess. Talks will take at least 2 years so it will probably lose 8% or so in the next 2 years

    I think this is the point at which you are supposed to sell him a shack in Missouri to rent out as a meth lab <ok>

    He isn't smart enough to invest in America and get 15% net yield, he is the same as 99% of the UK, they would rather get 6% gross yield in the UK as long as everybody else does it.

    On the other hand, for anyone considering a buy-to-let investment, there's a lot to be said for renting to tenants who are unlikely to keep an assault rifle behind the fridge.

    Why would you care, if the vacancy rate is 3% in the area?

    Novocaine is absurdly more expensive than cocaine, and no they would most probably be Moroccans or Lebanese gentleman.
    Dentists actually stopped using novocaine over 30 years ago .

    Thanks for the chemistry lesson. I meant the stuff that makes your mouth go numb when you rub it on your gums, so you think "this **** must be rock star grade", but then when you buy it - allegedly - that's all it does; make your mouth go numb.

    Pretty sure my dentist injected me with it before pulling a tooth out, would have hurt otherwise.
