I think Noel Edmonds may be brought back to do Swap Shop: we are on the brink of a barter system.

unless you're paid in Euros

woooooo hoo...essentially a 10% rise since contract start.
wish I'd not moved earlier payments over. Going to wait till 1.18 then bolt.

I was waiting for a smartass to say that. The fact is that rates should have fallen a year ago, and the delay has caused a lot of damage.

The real problem is that Gordon Brown has said that Britain has 'low debt' and that more borrowing is ok for this reason. The fact is that he is either lying or deluded, and the rest of the world know it !! He needs to boost the economy, and quickly, but not through even more debt.

So, pound would have dropped much earlier at the time when oil was hitting $150 per barrel, so if that happened then people would have been paying £2 per liter of fuel!

At least now oil is around $50, better devalue currency now rather than 1 year ago.
