Online Shoppers In Asia Make The Most Of The Devalued British Pound

Nigel Farage urged for a ‘pragmatic, realistic, grown up’ approach to cutting a free trade deal in the wake of Brexit before promptly resigning, Chris Evans left Top Gear after one season, and the ASOS website crashed due to a ‘power error’ and 'def not Brexit'. In the UK if you step away from your phone or news feed for more than an hour you're likely to miss someone resigning, but in Asia and Australia, it might mean you miss a sizeable saving on depreciating currencies. The website of British online retailer, ASOS, was down for 24 hours on Friday April 24 (HKT), in what many speculated was a reaction to the plummeting value of the pound, coinciding with Britain’s decision to leave the EU. "Yes, the site is down. This is because of a power outage at a third party data centre that hosts our servers," the brand said in a statement to Fairfax Media.
