    Yikes ... so o o o .... you're currency trading? Sorry, just tell me if you don't want to be more specific than you already have been ...

    No, just a few things denominated in foreign currencies (at least nominally, as so long as the exchange markets are open, you can convert). The old software (Gnucash) can cope with "they're worth $X each, I have 11,10,20 etc, so what's all that in GBP now I've just updated the exchange rate?" - the new software (jGnash) wants to know what they're worth directly in GBP, instead of working it out itself.

    I may try them as investments, but it then has trouble with paying for them in GBP, pricing them in $, but wanting to know what they're worth in GBP. If you're careless, it ends up altering what you paid for them... :eek:

    So, it would seem, that Lidl are flogging Yum-Yums filled with caramel.

    Luckily I don't live all that close...
