BREXIT

Post by Youngy »

With UK exiting the EU, the Pound Sterling has dropped.....

What a great time to place an order for any air gun bits and pieces from the UK !!! :auto:

Wonder if there will be a price drop in BSA or Air Arms kit here in Oz ???
i know 2 people that can answer the former ......anyone, anyone ........Beuller ? Beuller ?

The pound has fallen but the Oz dollar has also fallen alongside it. Not quite at the same rate, but essentially the same for anyone wanting to buy any decent priced items.

Been watching it as it aligns with my work. Sadly, it's not going to result in the bargains we may be hoping for. However, if you do get lucky then congratulations are in order.

The only UK owned company is AirArms. Daystate and Brocock belong to Breda. BSA to Gamo. Webley to Hatsan. And it goes on. The poms may find that except for AAs, the price of the others may actually go up.

Up there for thinking hey? :homer:

Brexit is just a stupid name AND an excuse to panic.

OK, so the UK exits the EU...what's going to really impact on the day to day lives of people? UK requires a different visa than the EU...BFD. Immigration concerns are just an excuse for. Economically, just more smoke an mirrors from an already shady stock market...

Yet to hear one REAL example of how the Brexit is going to affect real people in a meaningful way.

As for you touristy types, BFD you cause more international unrest than everything other than the internet.

Scotland wake up! If you want to claim independence, expect GB to invade you the next day. You have zero military the day you decide to go your own way!

PS. Stirring up the separatists. :wink:

PPS. Feeling cheeky...

Puts an end to the separation, and saves the cost of moving things out of Scotland. Just saying.
