I didn't say we were did I? Sorry if I am being obtuse, I meant that a pound buys 20% fewer euros today than it did back then...

  Oh! But then how do you know what it would be if we'd stayed in?

    You cannot know the effects of something that didn't happen. I guess if we had some kind of multiverse-hopping machine we could do some experiments. If you're just saying that it is not possible to know for sure whether Brexit is the cause of the 20% decline, well, you're right. Seems like a reasonable hypothesis though.

      Maybe not. But it's not been a 20% decline; the graph's been all over the place. In April 2022 the pound was higher against the Euro than it was when Brexit happened[1]. [1] https://www.google.com/search?q=gbp+to+euro https://www.google.com/search?q=gbp+to+euro (and set it to 5 years)
