What are 'Fricles'?
12 Answers
Yes, a silly question and maybe good for a laugh, but I've been browsing the TV finance and share dealing pages. Several columns of figures/values had beside them the abbreviation 'Fricles'. Does AB have a finance wizard who can please explain what this stands for?

What I saw was on Ceefax pages 241-2-3, showing comparative values of many different currencies. For example One Pound (GBP) buys EUR 1.1461: One EUR buys (GBP) 0.8723: One Dollar buys (GBP) 0.6162 .… and so on. The columns were headed Fricles, no doubt an abbreviation for something. Nothing to lose sleep over, but I do wonder how people are expected to understand these things. (Sounds like a skin complaint!)
Well, I don't know how the letter 'e' crept into your answer but I've just proved my basic theory by going into the Ceefax pages for mobile phones. They're not currently updating properly, so the information is showing the Thursday closing prices but, via this screenshot, I think that you'll see that my idea was correct:
