No comment needed: 1 GBP is now 1.15 Euro. The lowest rate in Euro's history.

I forgot to add: the worried President of the Dutch National Bank said: "All countries in the EU know that the recession has not yet hit the UK in full - we all expect the GBP to fall to 90 Eurocents or even lower." (Which means 1 GBP = 0.90 Euro).

Dutch - this is an extremely good rate compared with Barcelona two weeks ago. Changed some GBP into Euro at a Bureau de Change on the Ramblas (OK, stupid idea) and got the grand exchange rate of 1 Euro/GBP1.

Wicks I won't be using you as an exchange broker if you can't spot that 1/1 is better than 1/.9

Groucho - was responding to Dutch's original posting! The later posting is a forecast - his original posting is as of today!

Sometimes, postings overtake each other.
