Oh Dear .

[gulliver1]

The British pound against the Dollar and the Euro has started to fall already,and thats just after 4 days in Power,

[Bobbisox1]

Oh dear indeed,
.2 is a massive amount, how will I cope ???

[237SJ]

Probably OK if you are already drawing your pension. Not so well if your pension is based on the markets

[Bobbisox1]

And I am.....

[237SJ]

Yes, the never had it so good generation. Enjoy

[Bobbisox1]

No arguments there ,worked for it so it would be foolhardy for me not to
Wouldn’t it?

The Pound will never plummet in the model country the UK is, eh ? Google historical Pound-Dollar rates and have a close look at the rate changes between 1980 and 1984 - it went from $2.40 (having climbed from the earlier $1.60) to practically parity. How does one define "plummet" if that isn't it ? To anyone holding a "standard" view of currencies the Pound is at best a mediocre currency, emotional attachment notwithstanding.

Correction: The model country England is....

Even at 1.18 Euros to the pound it is still the highest it has been for a couple of years. The lowest I can remember was around 2008. Wasn't that after years of a labour government then or have you forgot that.

[Bobbisox1]

Don’t expect an answer shedman ;0/

[theshedman]

I don't Bobbisox. He just never gives up with his rubblish and he certainly has a selective memory.

[Bobbisox1]

You’re right on each point Shedman

[gulliver1]

Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear.

Gulliver, the pound rises and falls regularly and has done so for years.Your attempt to blame it on the new government is farcical.

gulliver: "The Day after the General Election £1 would buy 1.20 euros today it will buy you 1.18, " - the day before the election it was 1.17, it rose to 1.20 due to the market's relief that Jezza wasn't in, then fell back to 1.18, that's pretty good in a week.

[theshedman]

You really seem lost without your pal diddly gulliver. Resorting to things like "Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear" when you haven't got an answer to things. When you talk about Prams and toys out of I think you need to look closer to home much closer.

[gulliver1]

I did a very generous currency exchange on Friday the 13th, The day after the General Election. Thats me set up for some time. All I have to do now is bask in the Sun and spend it. Whoo Hoo.

09.18 Shedman , "I stand alone " then . Think I have heard those words before somewhere.

[theshedman]

I just feel sorry for all your neighbours out there where ever that is who have to be out in the sun with you. If you are at all like you are on here you must be a real joy to be around.

[theshedman]

You will have heard those words before as it seems the only person you listen to is yourself and maybe diddly who also seems to have given up on you. How sad.
