This is a thing now, apparently. Basically blaming poor performance on the referendum because, well, you just can alright?

During the Korean war, a US Huey helicopter was shot down whilst on a supply run to a forward US base. Various quarter masters all claimed to have had supplies and equipment on that Huey. When they checked the returns from the various quarter masters, the helicopter was apparently carrying around 400 tons of supplies and equipment it seems that like the idiots who blame any slight or otherwise variations in the weather/ climate on man made CO2 emissions, there are some who want to blame Brexit for just about everything that has happened in the world since June 23rd.Let's start off with Foxtons:

That Huey must have been incredible - it had also apparently travelled back in time in order to fly in the Korean War.Europa1 said:

I agree. Far too many people lining their own pockets regardless whether staying in the EU was good or not. £2.5bn profit in 6 months is just not enough.
And before you note you're not a shareholder, if you have a pension you may well be.

Whether it's related to their suicidal purchase of HBOS or due to a shift towards internet banking and AI I don't know, but it's not a company I'd be looking to start a job with!

This is a fresh 3000 apparently, not part of the huge credit crunch cull that panned out over the last several years. Staff learned about it from the news yesterday, before hearing anything official from the bank.
As a former employee of Lloyds, I can say there's nothing new about hearing major news about the bank from the BBC rather than from management...Composite Guru said:

No of course you haven't. You just see a big number and get all chippy.

As a guess; internet banking, we've been to a branch the other day, apart from women running the local off-license (she was depositing cash), the place was virtually deserted. 2009-2011

I saw a piece on TV where the Frankfurt chamber of commerce have a queue forming of UK businesses keen to relocate there rather than risk the uncertainty of little England. I'd do the same in their shoes .
