Near the end of the Brexit Pound Price Hike? - Some think so

[Dan]

Good news for us Brits. Apparently the brexit-related price-hikes related to the pound are coming to an end.

I got a bit sick of people blaming brexit for hiking their prices when we haven't even exited anything yet, and the fluctuation of the pound:dollar and pound:euro has been much greater in the past and we never saw country-wide price hikes then.

Apple seem to be charging £1000 for a phone, or $1000 - so they don't give a tosh about the actual value of the pound or dollar by the looks of it.

Apparently towards the end of 2018 we'll be pretty much back to normal.

No more excuses from suppliers to increase prices and blame brexit when they're actually just making a few quid.

Brexit related or not, I definitely noticed in the last year or so a lot far eastern musical equipment went up in price significantly I suppose Euro related. Guitars amps that sort of thing. I'm still definitely glad we voted to leave and it cant come soon enough.
