      Surprised you sold the gold, would have hung on to it myself.

      On the plus € is up 1.5 cents up on the £, remarkable progress for 8 hours.

        He sold his Cyprus villa for euros and converted them to GBP, next day the sterling went down like a stone in water... he's never been the same every since. In a way this story parallels that of the Mad Hatter.

          If ECB creates euro bonds and euro disney becomes a transfer union the British economy shall feel enormous pressure. Doomed.

                Fook off!

                Both my therapist and my community care outreach worker say I'm making good progress.
