The Brexit xenophobes are seemingly determined to crazily crash the UK economy into the dirt, so I'd stick with sterling if I was you (the lower the value of the � against the $ and the �, the more �'s you get).

Can you tell where my feelings on the subject lie?

I get paid in $ so I'm up a lot over the last year. Even so, I'd happily forego the money for a return to sanity here in the UK.

Unfortunately Fotolia has a fixed exchange rate based on credits: 1 credit = �1 = $1 = �0.75; so we are still being paid in pounds with pre-brexit poll rates.

Regarding Brexit, my feelings are exactly as yours, and I am still hoping that it won't happen or will happen but in name only: all we need is a government crisis... then Libdem + Labour (despite Corbyn) + Ken Clarke and a few reasonable tories voting explicitly to retreat from article 50. Results of local elections are (mildly) promising.
An ill-advised advisory poll with a 52% majority was never the "will of the people", most other countries require a much larger majority for such important changes. And it's even less now that the will of the people has changed.

So a democratic vote is only valid if it gives you the result you want?

Sounds just peachy in your world

And all the latest polls show that the British still want Brexit

I will respect the final, free, meaningful vote of the Parliament.
That will be a democratic vote, whatever the outcome.

An advisory (i.e. non-legally binding) referendum, which MPs (=no imperative mandate) have no obligation to follow - regardless of the (very poor, in this case) majority - is not a democratic vote.

Wasn't Brexit about restoring the "sovereignty of Parliament"? Or it's just when the Parliament votes as you want?

Even Mr Farage Said "A 52-48 Win For Remain Would Be 'Unfinished Business'". A 52-48 for Leave is no different.
