It's dropped a lot so far. I'm guessing that the unwinding of the carry trade has caused a fair bit of the drop with all the reductions in interest rates. Interest rates can't go down much further so I can't see a further drop being as precipitous as what we've had so far. Or should we all sell our pounds whilst they're still worth something!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249851329008146395.post-65694822285678743722008-12-10T14:42:00.000-08:002008-12-10T14:42:00.000-08:00Perhaps you'll be able to afford Greece, thoug...Perhaps you'll be able to afford Greece, though, Alice.deariemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249851329008146395.post-68257701413974401932008-12-10T15:08:00.000-08:002008-12-10T15:08:00.000-08:00http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/3078296/the...http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/3078296/the-true-extent-of-britains-debt.thtml<br><br>I'm afraid I HAVE to go to Europe this year - in-laws demand that I visit them.
