The only things to ask for are Galleons, Cubits, or Latinum. None of this fiat currency lark.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

If I don't get an ext. I think I will look outside the UK again. GPB will not be worth a Euro soon. I think the will increase the interest rate to try to stop the slide.Fiscal nomad it's legal.Comment

Actually AtW, I must apologise.
I made a cheap gag at your expense. It is a confusing subject and open to interpretation. I am sorry. 
From a UK centric point of view, quoting EUR like that makes sense. However, even though the UK is the major centre for FX transaction there is an international convention, though not a standard, on the quotation of exchange rates. According to convention EUR is the base currency and GBP would be the quote. i.e. 1 euro = 0.8926 pounds. So as the pound gets weaker the rate goes up!How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
