umm Paddy,

one small detail, it depends if you are buying or selling

Brilliant news for you. It means on your next trip back to Blighty the cost of your Pampers will be a fraction of what they used to be. You might be able to get yourself some worry beads with the cash you have saved.

good one Shaun

I have to say, it does make one feel richer

Don't trouble yourself on our account. Any revenue raised will be paltry compared to the surge in gloom that your visit will have ensured.

Afternoon All,

just incase you hadn't noticed, Pound at 92p to the Euro

Once they have prolonged sustained parity, switching from the Pound to the Euro will be a given part of
reverting the Brexit.

Anybody remember the years and years when the Pound was around 60p to the Euro ?

This will actually propel more Eastern Europeans to leave because of the rubbish forex rate.

Milan.

That was the plan, apparently...

Well at least it is OUR pound and we can print as much of it as we like.

Imagine printing presses now against a currency devaluating quicker than a quick thing with quick bits on it. UK will seem quite poor by Greek standards.
