    No.

    Actually AtW, I must apologise. I made a cheap gag at your expense. It is a confusing subject and open to interpretation. I am sorry.

    From a UK centric point of view, quoting EUR like that makes sense. However, even though the UK is the major centre for FX transaction there is an international convention, though not a standard, on the quotation of exchange rates. According to convention EUR is the base currency and GBP would be the quote. i.e. 1 euro = 0.8926 pounds. So as the pound gets weaker the rate goes up!

    If I don't get an ext. I think I will look outside the UK again. GPB will not be worth a Euro soon. I think the will increase the interest rate to try to stop the slide.

    A nice stretch of Latinum would be good, right by the Tiber.

    I could plant a vinyard or something.

    So is the new trend that Sterling loses between 0.5% and 1% daily against all major currencies going to carry on indefinitely now? At this rate we will all be millionaires before the election and debts will be paid off

    Looking on the charts (weekly and monthly for GBP/USD) it could still go a way yet.

    They want to push the Euro down to the 1.2000 mark as well
