At the mo, Trump 140; Clinton 109 (!?!)

270 (out of 538) required.

Some of Trump's wins are from the states where the 'experts' thought Clinton would take them.

'Brexit Mk.II' anyone...?

Ha, some American commentator on TV calls it, "Mexit." lol


(Long way still to go, of course).

Interesting times

And if Trump wins we can get an early indication of what happens when a campaign built solely on bullsh1t and lies fares when faced with reality

the US has been on a "managed decline" over the last 30 years

and worryingly i supposed for a post Brexit Britain it would have much more negative connotations for us

Trades deals with a Trump US, mmmmmm good luck with that

Should that come to pass, then you can bet your bottom dollar (SWIDT) that the UK forecourts take ages to lower their prices, to reflect it, though.

If at all!

They love that.

Really hoping the exchange rate takes a tumble....I'm planning on spending a few grand on importing a Tremec manual gearbox for the Jag

Currently with UK duty (4.3%), VAT (20%), which is added after the shipping and insurance costs and with the exchange rate, its costing more in £ than it does in $

In other news...Jack's Toblerone has hit the headlines
