Just sat down with granny for a coffee with a slug of brandy in it. Have sorted out granny's expensive habits by putting Spanish Brandy in an old Rémy Martin bottle, she seems none the wiser bless her.

The crucial question of commissions buying and selling are a little better now that international supply routes are working as normal. Keep in mind that damn near all international gold movements go by plane.
I am using four dealers to find near to best prices. Elm Investments, Bristol;  Atkinsons, Sutton Coldfield; Bullion By Post, B'ham and Hatton Garden Metals who feature on MSE.

Elm, Atkinsons and HGM are best between -2% and +3.5%, BBP are scoundrels at -4% and +8%..._

Granny  has gone Wild Camping; a diet of Pot Noodles and Brandy is not on our bucket list so we passed on the invite to go with her.

All time highs in $USD have now been breached which is a significant change. I can't see anything in the figures to signal an upside to the economy so I am 'predicting' significant rises going forward.
Our garden is lovely and the bucket list is not damaged, Sod's law.

Small change in commissions. -2.8% selling but still +3% buying. Bullion By Post at -4% and +8% are still top of the scoundrel board..._
