I can't shed a tear for the Pound, it was the best currency for the last 5 years. Would you rather have the dollar? jajajaj

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.

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.

Price of Coke must have skyrocketed or somehing sending thier curency up. GB is going down cuz the markets realize they have big debts too.
