    I still got mine in my Euro account - going to hold tight for now

    At a time when the pound's going down the pan , it's a bit rich to be talking about another currency falling apart and "weaker economies".
    Still, could be that the Swiss Franc takes over by default?

    Yes, it is always those with weaker economies that feel the need to control them themselves.

    Yes, Sod's law is probably the most accurate economic theory of them all.

    I'm curious milan, you live in central Europe so are (I'm assuming) in no way affected by this. Are you just enjoying the show as the pound slides further and further into the mire?
