Just get a feeling that there is no rush at the moment and enough has been done to maintain planning permission

As P86 says speak to Mr Newton on Saturday in the vip lounge. Look him in the eye ask your question and then decide if you believe him or not.

So pre-referendum steel prices.

Don't let inconvenient facts get in the way of Project Fear though, why change the habits of the the last 2+ years? 

I'm crap at maths, but somehow you're worse.

I said "two years... ish". The referendum, and immediate slump of the pound, was two years and five months ago.

Inconvenient facts indeed.

[Ed Kandii]

You said that the chairman's remarks pre-dated Trump's steel tariffs by approx two years, so just after the referendum.
The value of the pound had dropped. Steel prices had been rising before the referendum but actually dropped slightly in Q4 of 2016, before continuing to rise.
So no quantifiable Brexit effect on steel prices... you and your Remain buddies are in such a rush to blame Brexit for everything negative that happens you don't appear to even understand what you are writing.

Agree we can't blame Brexit. It hasn't stopped Mr Newton building houses.
