Oh I hope you're rightOriginally posted by DimPrawn View PostWatch and see GBP fall back to lows of $1.30 to a pound later this year as the world realises the UK isn't going to afford it's debt payments.

You've really got the hang of this ATW. I am most impressed. Sasguru will be along shortly to congratulate you I'm sure.Originally posted by AtW View PostDebt repayments are in GBP you numpty, not dollars.
It's another matter that yields would have to go up as GBP becomes less attractive as a currency, and sales of gilts may go down but there is a solution for this - printing presses can solve all money problems.

Okay, I'm going to have to admit defeat on this one.
Atw's legendary financial nouse has me floundering.
I'm going to invest in 10,00,00 Hard Disk Drives and a squirrel sanctuary.

and therein lies your answer.....
from AtW:
'SKA Inc has diversified customer base from all countries: UK, USA, mainland EU and others.
'
diversified, £, $, EUR, CHF, AU etc
Dim, let us know when you have converted your spare cash to $, we can all watch and have a good laugh
like when you sold your villa for euros and converted to the £ just before the £ fell 40% on euro - talent !!
