Plus the latest unemployment figures and a speech by the ECBpresident Draghi, not ebola etc that the money companies cite.Actually, it's because we're heading back to England but need to transfer more sterling ready to pay taxe fonciere etc!

mint Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Steve, this has also puzzled me.All the talk we've had about the Eurozone in meltdown and countries in Europe that had to be bailed out and Britain, apparently in contrast, with an economy coming out of recession quicker than anyone else etc etc so why has the euro held so steady against the pound?[8-)]Are the tories massaging figures, lying?Or are the Germans really propping everyone else up in the Eurozone?
