    2.5 year low means that it was lower just 2.6 years ago... Are you going to comment on the state of the exchange rate under the previous government or just keep ignoring that whilst hoping your silly posts will have some kind of impact on...well I'm not sure what you are hoping to influence. Maybe you could explain that as well whilst discussing the collapse of the value of the pound 2008-May 2010.

    I'm quite curious to know the answer to this one as well, but I bet DLW studiously ignores it and just carries on with some feeble trolling.

    Is it a right for Cameron to have lush holidays then, or Clegg, or any politician - I thought we were All In This Together? Oh wait...


    Always tickles me that your lot are sooo easily taken in by very rich lefties such as Billy Bragg, Steve Coogan and Tony Robinson. Every bit as greedy and priviledged as Banker but because they wear a jumper and make the right noises, sheeple like you fall for thier anti fat cat rhetoric.

    I'll bet you applaud these types on Question Time, but do bare in mind they have thier own tax consultants and all the other fat cat trappings.

    I'd hate to be gullible.

    Looks like US and Europe will be worst places for it this year - I wonder what the pound will be worth then?

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Hey DLW, wake up! The Pound appears to be back. Up about 1% this week so far vs the Euro.

    Maybe the Tories were right after all. That's how it works isn't it? GBP FX is a vote on how well the Government's doing.

    Just out of interest, do those people existing change the facts? Is that what is known as an Aunt Sally, Wurzel or is it Strawman?
