I know it has gone down since 2016 but as we all agreed at the time it was too high.

I don't remember us all agreeing it was too high. In fact at 1.31 it had dropped quite a bit from its high in 2015 of 1.44.Originally posted by original PM View PostIndeed and 2000 years ago 1 rock was worth 3 sticks and an animal skin.
