And alot of our imports are from euroland ! But it will make our exports cheaper! Oh we don't do exports only financial products such as "investment vehicles.

If our exports are cheaper, we make more cash, and this will put upward pressure on prices and wages. That combines with imported inflation to add more to the upside on inflation.

If sterling falls against the Euro and we import from Europe, this means that our imports become more expensive and not cheaper.

dbnazz1...Cheekie Charlie said our exports would be cheaper, not our imports, so he got it right. His points was that we will be importing inflation and unable to export our way to getting any benefit from the low £.
