Forward planning for when the Euro is worth diddly squat ???!!
You mean like the pound since we voluntarily jumped off a metaphorical economic cliff?
Forward planning for when the Euro is worth diddly squat ???!!
the UK 'lockdown' is not a lockdown, it's just being asked to play nicely.
look at the pictures from Wuhan - empty motorways. now that is a lockdown.
When the Euro is worth diddly squat, your pension paid in sterling will be worth a fortune!I wish I could laugh at that. But my pensions are paid in Sterling. It just ain't funny.

If it was the other way around you'd be in trouble!
...and the weakening of the £ against the Euro made our exports better value so sold more and brought it into a better balanced position with respect to GDP. It was previously considered to be at least 10% overvalued. The Euro is radically overvalued, most especially for almost every member state in the Euro Zone except Germany. The most important underpinning aspect of a currency is that it stays in balance with GDP. It is when it becomes overvalued that it is most likely to suffer a crash.
…...that somewhat ignores the dynamics of the market. Buyers still expect value for money, the more expensive the product the lower the volume of sales...…….so margin has to take a hit. That applies even more when the product is in a competitive market which is why the UKs ability to negotiate trade deals across the world without the application of EU imposed import tariffs is good news for UK consumers. Free trade outpoints a protection zone everytime.Just as well we buy nothing from the EU as a bloc then. Oh, wait.

Never mind the V, this thread is causing me to lose the will to live.
We must be at a point now that the seriousness of the situation is very clear to everyone and we are all doing what our consciences tells us to do (if not our collective governments and WHO).
Fortunately, because a lot of the problem IMHO was the WHO telling everybody not to worry because China says Coronavirus isn't contagious. That kind of allowed propagation that possibly would not have happened if they were a lot more cautious.

I think you may have mixed up WH (White House) with WHO. I can't find any record that the WHO have done anything other than scream warnings. Can you give me a reference?
Edit: Found the reference. January 14th: WHO stated that there was no sustained human to human transmission. However, that advice had changed by January 20th.

Did you try to move the conversation onto chains there ?non-facts get thrown around without solid links.
We should have a separate thread of diversions while we’re all at home. We must be at a point now that the seriousness of the situation is very clear to everyone and we are all doing what our consciences tells us to do (if not our collective governments and WHO).
Politics is anything related to Govt or public affairs. You are confusing it....and some of the posts here with PARTY politics. This crisis is a huge "public affair" impacting on all of us and for many it is therapeudic to try to understand how this happened, to discuss and swop experiences. Its OK to disagree.Let’s not get political mate. This isn’t true but no point in discussing this stuff.
