Could theoretically be the opposite of course if one of the major contributing countries hits a wall (as it'll take other less affected countries with it).

Greece is inconsequential, Italy is a hit but shouldn't rock the boat too much. If Germany and France hit the skids the whole EU is in major trouble, they'll take every smaller EU nation with them.

We filled the tank 10 days ago @ Ł1.18/litre (Diesel. Yes we are filfy pigs!) and yesterday when we went to Tesco it had tanked to Ł1.03. Could have saved a few Ł . We still have basically a full tank though, saving a good Ł50/week on fuel at the moment anyway.

The timing of Brexit in terms of this is so bizarre that it feels like a pre-written plot sometimes.

Britain will find it harder to stabilise in the aftermath without the weight of the EU. At the same time, the EU has lost one of its core 4 contributors without the UK and Italy is probably going to tank badly, leaving Germany and France to prop up the entire EU. I don't know if that's sustainable. There's probably going to be a complete global economic shift in the wake of Covid.

Frustrating thing is we will now NEVER really know the economic impact of Brexit. It will be impossible to tell.

the terms of trade will now be completely different too, with everybody needing to trade like never before to get their economies going. It wouldn't surprise me if standards are suspended for a while as well. Cheap old **** will be the order of the day
