"You are clearly bullish sterling so what have you done about it? Bought a field, a farm, several farms. Upsides/downsides or don't you know?"

What has being bullish sterling got to do with it???
Currency didn't come into it at all.

I bought the agricultural land for obvious reasons and investment isn't one of them.

This is the problem with you Remainers - everything revolves around primarily money.

Here is another option - buy a vineyard. It might be an investment and fun but plenty of downsides - one hell of a work with all the pruning, treatments, state controls plus a less obvious one - what the hell do you with the production. Not a hobby at all and would need to be leased out.

GtG - thank you for that helpful reply.

So let's go back to that earlier post. You are clearly bullish sterling so what have you done about it? Bought a field, a farm, several farms. Upsides/downsides or don't you know?

Sometimes you have to be a bit brave in life and live a little. Good luck.

A quarter of a million companies are at risk of collapsing under £35bn ($44bn) of unsustainable debt taken on during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new report, putting up to three million UK jobs at risk.Banking lobby group TheCityUK and consultants EY on Thursday published a 144-page report analysing the financial challenges facing British businesses in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report, titled "Recapitalising Businesses post COVID-19," warns that around 780,000 businesses, most outside of London, have taken on a combined £35bn of debt that is unsustainable, meaning businesses will be unlikely to keep up repayments at the currently agreed level.Source Yahoo Finance

Not being allowed to smoke in public places is denying me the right to give people cancer.
It is an attack on my liberty.

Not being allowed to spit in peoples faces and contaminate them with germs is an attack on my liberty.

Denying me the right to protest, destroy historic statues and replace them with more agreeable ones, to destroy buildings and injure policemen, and be an anarchist, not recognising the law.
Yet another attack on my liberty.

Yes, a police state I am pleased to say.
Let us have more of it.
Zero tolerance.

GtG - instead of being a twit some of the time why don't you talk about your experiences in agricultural land. I am thinking of putting my gains on 'currency speculation' into ag land in the UK. Would be very interested to learn of your experiences. Upsides/downsides (eg fly tipping). Ag land versus forestry land.

Plus anybody else with experiences?

[geckotheglorious] 16/7/2020 12:47

Do they?

How does "being a currency speculator" make you less full of hot air than someone who buys Agricultural land in the UK????

Still waiting for an answer to your last.

GtG - a big difference is that my actions match my words.
