        there no currency speculation involved it's simply a case of get out of dodge, I mean, out of u$d, £ and euro and into something safe like chf/norwegian krona etc

        sprinkle in some au

        and voila you will sleep peacefully

        I was thinking on moving into CHF. Not due to current gig. If you see what they pay their contractors you would sell their stock

          How about investing in a selection of top yielding Swiss stocks?

          SMI (Switzerland) highest dividend yielding stocks

          Since they are priced in chf, any further falls of Eur/£ means you are quids in, plus any yield is a bonus.

              Gold. It's very valuable at the moment, unlike that worthless tory gold that I got rid of years ago.

                Indeed. You got us into a lot of debt, but at least you had the decency to completely devalue the £ so it doesn't seem as bad.

                  And Red Ed will be finishing off "the project" in about 4 years time. Jolly decent chaps, all in all.

                    Slightly Red Ed may be our new leader in 4 years time, but he'll have to raise his support in the parlimentary Labour party first. He also needs to find some competent Labour MPs to serve as ministers. Then again Labour suffers from a shortage of talent.

                    I mean Alan Johnson seems a descent bloke, but he's not equiped to be chancellor.
