This is true. Whilst Brown and co continue reducing confidence in this nation, we are going to struggle to increase on last week's 1.66.

I'm going to Vegas in November, Brown better be out by then

Brown will be out by this afternoon once i go for my daily Tom Kite.

13:45 08Jun09 Gbp and M&A flows - Some positive talk at last

12:45 GMT - [GBP AND M&A FLOWS] There has been plenty of speculation that the plunge from Wed's 1.664 fresh 2009 best has been, in part, M&A related.

Certainly, reports that Abu-Dhabi will sell around Gbp 3.5bln of its share holding in Barclays grabbed much attention, while there was also talk of heavy sales after an aborted venture between two international commodities sector giants. Today, news is more positive for the Pound regarding potential cross border flows. The Telegraph reports that Barclays is closing in on the sale of Barclays Global Investors to BlackRock for over Gbp 8bln. Meanwhile, Cable consolidates around 1.5900 at present, some distance off earlier 1.5803 European session lows.

Morning all.
I see we've found our level then

Cable seems to be recovering nicely! Back up to mid 1.59's.

Not nicely enough though buddy. Still any climb is good given last weeks fall.

It's all relative. I'm blanking out the 3 or 4 days that we saw mid 1.60's and just thinking the rate is great compared to a month ago.
Looks like i'm going to have to change more money over shortly. I'm now being forced to put down 10% on my house over here rather than the 3.5% we were expecting.

We've given up on the selling front. 1 viewer in 5 months. Dropped the price £20k. Still no takers! Are you sure you wouldn't consider it for a holiday home when you're visiting the towers?
Up for rent now. Fingers are crossed!

Rate taken a tumble down to low 1.59's
