Cannonfodder80 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I know, I'd expect that sort of reaction from others but not from a close family member, especially the way she'd been talking about my cousin and him not wanting surgery or being an *albartroth* about taking antibiotics because he's in the church of bad science fiction Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Today I have been directly negatively affected by Brexit for the first time. My lease on the Skoday Citigo is coming up so I went down to the dealership to see what I can do. Due to the *albartroth* falling out of the used car market I am in negative equity on the car (only by a couple of hundred quid but still). That can be partly attributed to Brexit. What can be directly attributed to Brexit though is the fact that Skoda no longer offers 0% finance on any cars. So, to get the same car with the same deposit as last time would now cost £178 a month, I am currently paying £91. Costs nearly doubling due to Brexit? That is a kick in the balls. On the plus side, it looks like I am keeping the car now so the GPS unit I got for Xmas is going to be appreciated for longer. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 It's not due to Brexit as such, but it *is* due to the uncertainty and scaremongering that's going on and will continue to carry on until the actual negotiations are completed. Link to post Share on other sites

Bovinedog Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 The lease rates are bad at the moment. I have a car for work, 3 year lease due for renewal this year. Have been looking at replacements and the same car is much more expensive. Across the board, cars of a similar spec are about £70 to £100 per month more expensive. Couple that with the changes to dividend taxes and Im about £2k down already compared to last year Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Gunnman Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I don't even deal with Facebook anymore. It's really only a place for women to show off their bodies for the likes and men overpost sports memes. Hardly a substitute for reading a decent book. Link to post Share on other sites

Hedganian Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Graphics processing units are better suited to data mining for crypto currencies than CPU chips are (for some reasons about the types of calculations and stuff) so these miners buy up graphics cards, driving up the price.
