Default Fuel going up again.

Mervyn has remained vigilant once again. No rise in IR's and the pound is tanking.

Another 2 or 3 ppl on its way folks.

Tanking? The Beeb (delayed?) $/£ rate lists a drop of 0.18% today. Still not far off a 52 week high though (1.63030 vs 1.63740)

It's OK though as it's all caused by external pressures, nothing to do with those in charge.

Bit like the financial crisis.

Still I see Dave gave Pakistan £650,000,000 yesterday to try to stop them blowing us up. So it's all OK. When we're all walking to work, and queuing for food, we wont be blown up by suicide bombers.


Stop press. Eurozone IR's just gone up 0.25%. Obviously they're not as vigilant as Merv. Pound about to plummet against the Euro now.

Please show me evidence that the pound is 'tanking'.
Our rate at work has been the same for nearly 2 years!

There's no tanking, there's no plummeting. Nobody was taken by surprise by these announcements except perhaps yourself?
