      Surely the real situation in the States has not even been factored in yet?
      After Gordon Brown urged the Saudis to produce more oil and lower it's price, they are in a sudden flap about their reducing income and have decided to try and maximize their investments by switching from sterling to dollars.

        They sell oil for dollars - their main UK "investments" are probably Man City, some houses etc.

        Brown really did a sterling (hehe) job ****ing up UK and making it really unattractive for investments.
