Express report

It's not easy to forget that from around 2004-2007, the rate of exchange was over 1.5 Euros to £1 sterling...and now another 6% drop since last year!

UPDATE, 29 May, The Telegraph "Carney will devalue Sterling"

"Mark Carney will try to devalue the pound by as much as 15pc after he takes over as Bank of England Governor in July in a last ditch attempt to cement the UK recovery, Pimco, the world’s largest bond house, has warned".
