Not quite the gloom and doom we were told
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
A weak pound means a happy WES, what with me having a USD pension and shares in this marvelous investment bank I work for.
And on a slightly less selfish basis, the economy seems to be liking a weak pound.
Ah Sir C. Remember those new Gibson models we saw recently.
The one that looked ace is actually a weird amazon exclusive and cheap as chips. (for a gibson and not the same chips Pokster has pissed on) :shrug:

I read it's a stripped down model. The tuners are no brand far east types.
pick ups although called 'Gibson Pro bucker' are the same as fender use on their cheap range and the pots are korean. Though it is still made in the USA.
But these are easily changed. Probably gibson making something affordable that's not epiphone to temp some of the several thousands buying fakes from china.
I won't buy one though I want a strat for my collection but in no rush to buy one. Though I really like the look of black model.
That is the problem, lower pound means higher inflation, higher inflation leaves less disposable income, less disposable income leads to lower consumer spending unless they borrow more..... The BOE would love to raise rates but I can't see how they can for the next 18 months as the consumer spending bubble will burst, and that is what is keeping the economy afloat
