September 92 was 'black wednesday' when rates went up to 15% (for part of a day) as the pound exited the ERM

Wow. We're now consistently getting < -1% drops. This is a much steeper fall.

Can someone with a bit of time on their hands plot out the graph of the last crash to the same scale as the BBC news one, so we can have visual comparison?

I have made a graph on Excel (Slow work day) however I dont seem to be able to get it onto the forum.

Looking at the graph though, it is certainly a much more gentle drop. You certainly wouldn't be able to ski down it as quickly as the current house price graph.

I have an interesting graph - does anyone know how to post a picture?

Alas it got the better of me too, only seems to be the option of inserting an image from a web address.
