lol - what's this doing in the "Flights, Currency & Car Hire" board? Surely it should be in the "Debate House Prices and the Economy" (as it involves the economy) or "Savings and Investments" (as it affects investment outlook).

Presumably it's because it indirectly hit sterling? Bit of a weak link though.

Hardly a crime - it is relevant & I'm glad it is in here - I'm looking for currency related articles & unfortunately this is very relevant - I don't look at those other boards.

"A choppy recovery." There's no recovery.

...only inflation.

Was down against the euro when first posted though.

Wasn't there something about Germany having to take their bank bailouts onto the books this afternoon (dunno if we'll eventually get the same with Lloyds, RBS, and the dead bits of NR and B&B).
