Every time I see this thread in the list I have a vision of a giant chav watch with a gold sovereign as the face.

Well. Makes me laugh...

There was a big move down first thing when Brown said he was staying. However, it turned around after Cleggie said that the Conservatives should have a go. The pound has stabalised against the dollar since then and has enjoyed the weakness in the euro this afternoon.

If the Con Lib talks fail or Lab do something to hold on then the sell off will resume.

Almost 1% down against USD now, over 2% down against the Euro. And as for gold, well that's just getting silly now.

Gold at £26,200/kg, Sterling down 1.91% against the Dollar and almost 6% against Yen today, so far. And even managed a little drop against the Euro.

It's good job they just struck gold in a Cornish tin mine. I can almost hear Gordon dancing around number 10 singing 'We're saved, we're saved'.

By the way, does anyone reckon that Gordon has actually packed his stuff up at Number 10? I really don't believe he has, hoping to do a Ted Heath for several more months.
