sterling well down below 2$ - and we had financial commentators only two weeks ago saying that sterling would be staying above $2.500-600 this year. a week is a long time in forex. strength of sterling was having an impact on reducing inflation. inflation numbers could feasibly go up now...BLOODBATH IN THE EVENING THEN? :shocked: OR PERHAPS THE AFTERNOON?

That's because you live the life of the cosmipolitan-young-girl-around-town, flitting from bar to party to restaurant like some beautiful social butterfly where as I am a broken down old banking hack, forced to spend his meagre pennies, hard earned as they are, on fripperies like food and childrens' shoes.
