    The Pound is dropping like a stone

    Almost 1% fall against the Euro today, so far. Ditto against the Dollar and Yen. Is this as a consequence of Dave saying he will keep interest rates low too?

              Cable now 1.5850

              Dunno why I care, I don't have money in the UK or anywhere else in the world.
              That is my story and I'm sticking to it.
              How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                Could be because I'm off back out of the country and the markets are rattled on the news.

                    1% equals dropping like a stone? You've not got much of a grasp of gravity have you.


                    I hate this sort of sensationalist reporting. It's always one extreme or another, then the actually story is a let down.
