    Thank god for that housing boom and how rich it has made us!
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        Apparently xe.com is 'The World's Favourite Currency and Foreign Exchange Site'

        I have to say that it is my favourite.

        It is number one.

        In a list of one.

            For the first time 1 pound less 1.2 euros.... was only joking about the parity but looks like it's not much of a joke...

                We may be joking about $ parity soon.

                Remeber they are hinting about cutting the interest rate again.

                  The BOE are happy for rates to go to zero. Think less than parity!

                    So...

                    Is the £ collapsing?

                    1. Yes
                    2. No
                    3. It is but its a good thing becuase Gordon says so.

                      If less than parity then a lot of people will try to buy houses in London. With prices already down substantially can you believe how cheap it will be to get a flat in a big town for less than 500k dollars or euros? In many other european cities you don't get anything for that money. This should push prices up again and currency as well.
