A thank you to Brexiteers.

Sounds like quite a big Brexit Boost for Kent hoteliers with trade up by at least 300%.

...then down to zero.

To be fair, I'm not sure of their business acumen if they expected trade barriers to increase the amount they exported. Sounds like they were doomed to eventual failure anyhow if that's the way they run things.

So to play the Brexit Bonus game........Brexit has increased the average level of business acumen by making previously profitable companies bankrupt. That's almost good enough to put on the side of a bus.

it's been more than a year since i went to north finchley but the tarty whore is still there, under new colours https://www.greatukpubs.co.uk/tallyholondon sadly the auld coach stop is lost and gone forever

back in the glory days of new southgate i went to a few parties at the turrets - had my 19th there, in the dim and distant past

I find memory of landscape is a strange thing (and I don't mean my failing memory due to ageing); when I moved there, and for some years thereafter, the Turrets was a notable landmark, although closed by the time I was there, I think. Now it's been demolished I can't quite place where it used to be - there's a newish Co-Op around there that may have been built on the site... even more strange is a new development of no doubt unaffordable flats up at Whetstone next to Barclays - these flats have only gone up in the last year or two but I cannot for the life of me recall what was there before, despite having walked or bussed past there many, many times.

I guess it's only if there was some memorable or distinctive building there previously (like the Turrets, or the interesting old junk / antique shop where Whetstone Boots now is, or the odd little Victorian fireman's hut, also at Whetstone) that I don't feel like the current building has always been there - even though I know it hasn't always been IYSWIM.
Another example would be that other new development of unaffordable flats where the old Sweets Way council / HA flats were; I only remember them because of the campaign to save them and prevent its tenants from being forcibly rehoused - high-profile (but unfortunately unsuccessful) campaign in the local and London press, with big banners outside

The turrets just the new Southgate side of the bridge, on the north side of the road. There was the auld butchers pub on the west side of the road in whetstone. Think the Swan and pyramids gone now too, got chucked out of lock in there once, didn't realise it was a cop pub till we were in

The ex landlady of the Swan and pyramid is sitting with me now, reckons it was never an old bill haunt.

Rivers can drown people, but Thatcher died of old age.

Markets don't think about what they are doing.

(Also, is a "credit strike" an actual thing?)

 

[brogdale]

Markets don't think about what they are doing.

Yes & no.
The players that make up 'the markets' know what they're prepared to lend to or not and at what price. The numbers suggest that collectively they don't want to lend cheaply to the Truss project...but they were OK with the Brexit project. Just saying.

It's not whether they want to, as in whether they approve or not, it's what risk they would be taking. Truss effectively declared she would like the government to be structurally insolvent, which unsurprisingly had an effect on the cost of government borrowing.

The Sweets Way estate, thats where my primary school was, next door, and about half of the kids at the school lived there, all army families i think. I haven't thought about it much since never been back but your post just made me go and have a look, on the google streetview, where nothing at all is left of the landscape it's all completely new too-clean fake looking houses. Every piece of what i remember compulsory purchased and demolished. Well that was disturbing, uncanny. So thanks for that.

This is a long (and obviously FT is a pro-EU partisan) but very damning analysis of the broad economic impact of Brexit taking into account the situation of comparable nations. A lot of the complaints from companies about difficulties with sending stuff in and out ring bells with what what we've been seeing Freedom, for example, where even though books aren't supposed to attract the same taxes we regularly get stuff sent back from the likes of Germany and Greece.



A particularly interesting part notes that Britain's trade intensity has bottomed out against the rest of the G7. This is important because Britain's economy is (has been) one of the most trade intensive in the world, and obv increased trade opportunities was one of the supposed selling points of the Leave campaign.

one of the benefits of brexit, from an eu point of view, is no longer having to put up with a superannuated arse being sent to brussels to be the british eu commissioner

Good point, well illustrated.
In defence, I'd say I was thinking more about the bond (gilt) markets.

I miss the Bankers Draft; cheap beer and a good place to watch football; it's astonishing and sad that there are hardly any pubs in the area any more. When I moved there - admittedly a couple of decades years ago - there were 3 or 4 pubs within 10 mins walking distance, my neighbours can remember even more... the only ones round there I can think of still remaining are the Irish pub opposite the Catholic church and the Arnos Arms, both near Arnos Grove tube. The Bankers Draft building is still boarded up, as is the York Arms on Oakleigh Road, the other one (Rising Sun IIRC?) became a Tesco Metro years ago

Do you know what became of the Tally Ho ?

Molly's is the Irish pub, was The Letrim Inn. The Rising Sun is long gone, as is The Woodman that was a little further down the road. The Cavalier on Russell Lane survives and has taken on the few regulars from when The York closed last year.

The best pub for miles around was Toolans on North Finchley High Road for decades, but it's gone rapidly down hill since Nancy Toolan sold it a few years back. The Bohemia was next best and is probably Finchley's finest now. I heartily reccomend their 'Wings Wednesday'.
