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.
It's being battered by everything - what's been said? I get paid tomorrow so exepct a big recovery!
Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
Sterling has been taking a daily battering for a while now, and FFS I had no joy getting a USD bank account opened today, for one reason or another. Doomed. At least my freshly purchased gold went up a bit.
It has been reported that Labour was able to borrow the billions simply because Conservatives promised savage cuts. Now that all main parties have been dithering about cuts/no cuts, the markets are spooked.
A sterling collapse and a IMF bailout IMO would be a good thing for this country. The deficit is £180 billion. The entire public sector is being supported through borrowing. If the UK was a human being it would have been bankrupted a while back and he would be out on the streets.
So is the new trend that Sterling loses between 0.5% and 1% daily against all major currencies going to carry on indefinitely now? At this rate we will all be millionaires before the election and debts will be paid off
