Compare each against gold for clarity - definitely a case of weaker dollar with the GBP / Euro pair showing less weakness against gold.

Wait, what? I thought we were suppose to be comparing these currencies to whichever tulipcoin was the flavour of the day.

It's all relative. Personally, I take the very fact that Sterling still exists as a positive. Whether it buys as much Chianti as last year comes a distant second. Each to their own, though...

Strong pound is good for imports, weak pound is good for exports.

Yes but when it gets too weak no-one wants to deal in pounds anymore and everything should be converted in USD first like in other 3d world countries

I don't remember us all agreeing it was too high. In fact at 1.31 it had dropped quite a bit from its high in 2015 of 1.44.

In 2000, the Euro was not legal tender. Perhaps you can tell us the exchange rate in 1972 or 1945...
