tropicalshirt says on Sep 25, 2009, 09:00: When you go the cashpoint now in the UK and get out some money its all brand new with consequtive serial numbers. Printing all that new money, and of course all the huge debts, has caught up with the pound this week. That said, the Euro is overvalued but financial commentators say the Pound is stuck here for a while and below 3000 COP is probably next week.

El Expatriado says on Sep 26, 2009, 20:59: Tell me about it. I get paid in GB pounds and have $US and $Can savings for living in Colombia. I think it is Elmo trying to price the Gringos out so they leave his Colombianitas alone.
