If anything’s going to cause stock markets to tumble/crash/plummet (which of course they will at some time), it will be bigger issues than our self-inflicted Brexit side-show. Trump’s trade war coupled with hikes in the US interest rates will in (his) theory make America great. The effects, real or perceived, on the rest of the world will slap us all firmly in the face and/or backside some time soon. Watch this space. But don’t panic. It will be alright in the end; and if it’s not alright, it’s not the end yet. Etc.

Diesel at my local filling station now costs over £7.50 a gallon (kids etc.). Not my problem these days, but I’m sadly old enough to remember the furore in the 1970s when the price went up to 50p a gallon.
