I saw everyone on the high street selling US$1.38 for the £ - are we about to re-start the industrial sector and start making toys for kids in the States or something?

If Europe were on the verge of collapse investors would not be buying up the currency in favour of sterling on the news growth in China is slowing down.
In fact what's more worrying, and I say this genuinely, the euro currency is considered by investors as the buyers choice during the turmoil because of it's flexibility.
If there's going to be a collapse of significant proportions in the near future it's overinflated assets.

Which it is, however it's also a sign that their policies are tulip - USD/GBP was at 1.46 just before elections when it seemed that "oh so awful Labour" would win, and now it's 1.42, seen it close to 1.40.
Considering how much I am going to get hammered on tax in new year this is a very small insufficient consolation
