    €1.11/£ - Flash crash my lower rear anatomy

    Don't panic! Don't panic!

    But Skynet might panic and just wipe out the lot us. You've been warned.

        Hmm maybe I will go take that contract in Belgium. 750 Euros/day didn't sound too appealing before but it's sounding better by the day

            When starting my company the best decision I made was to price my software in dollars.

              Hello €1.10/£

              Where will this end. I was jesting about parity by Christmas. Feck it, a full on crash of the currency could be interesting...

                I presume you're wishing this on your fellow Scots too.

                  Thanks to the brexiteers my European savings are suddenly worth almost 20% more then they were 4 months ago
                  At this moment:

                  Pound - Euro 1.1029 was over 1.30 on June 22nd
                  Pound - dollar 1.227 was 1.47 on June 22nd

                  Transferring a substantial amount of pounds into my Euro accounts just before the brexit vote turned out to be the right choice and has given me a huge profit
