So who else is changing every cent they have to Sterling next week?

IvaBigWun

The Euro is fúcked. Let's call a spade a spade. Are you changing your bank savings into Sterling? The Norwegian Krone? Gold? Money in a safe in the house?

Or another?

If I had any Euro`s id join you, as it happens I dont.

earpiece

Ain't got any!

Gold pressed latinum.

AnamGlas

Address PMed.

Safe with me OP.

If you have any Euro notes hold onto them, You will have something to burn on the fire when we no longer can afford home heating oil and gas.

Yep, noticing the writing on the wall whilst trapped in a burning building with the Three Stooges in charge of the fire engine is truly being hysterical.

As for Sterling if the Euro goes the pound will take a hefty, if not fatal knock as well considering the exposure of the British banks and their reliance on trade with the EU.

Why Sterling, they ain't exactly in the clear, the UK is a debt ridden state hence the Sterling has not risen significantly against the Euro. Gold is too expensive at the mo, perhaps sink your money into the Yen(they will recover) or Yuan and not the debt ridden dollar.

Nope, simply because your deluded (just like your fellow travelers) if you think that being seriously concerned about the way the Euro crisis is being managed is reason to mock and sneer.

You can stick around and drink the Euro cool-aid if you want but personally I'm not taking the chance that someone else maybe has a plan to tackle the problems, especially when it's my own (modest) life saving at stake.

Sterling? lol the brits are relaunching their 10p and 5p next month, a steel version, because the nickel-plated copper one they use now is worth more melted down for scrap.

I'm not sure about rest of Europe and I'm no fan of Cameron but that Merkal one would love to see the UK sink in the mire along with eveyone else and yes, Britian does rely on Europe for business and export but it would make it even more sweeter if the British can take back some of the powers from Brussels ...something they would do like a shot and with a stroke of the pen if they could tomorrow .

That Sepp Blatters a tool to

The British were proved correct in not joining the euro anyway.

Pity we joined ; it lead to our banks borrowing massively from Europe + our building boom etc.

If we had stayed with Sterling as we were for centuries we would not be in as bad a mess. We would have had more control over our interest rates. They were clearly too low for us 5, 6, 8 years ago but we were only 1% of the population of the eurozone so the germans told us to **** off, they were fixing the interest rates to suit themselves.

I wish people would stop using the phrase 'drinking the cool-aid' if they're going to spell it incorrectly.

It's Kool-Aid.

With a 'K' not a 'C'.

God damn it. :mad:

I have a UK savings scheme, just banged a couple of years worth of payments across.
I suspect that it'll all go tits-up over Christmas!
A 30% devaluation of the An Punt Nua would have meant my payments going up by a third next year.

Swiss francs is what you all want to be buying. With the Swiss national bank looking at deflating their currency yet again in the next few weeks you could get some decent exchange rates...

Unless you are speaking from the perspective of a neo-Unionist that statement really doesnt make much sense

If Ireland were still using (or was in a currency union with) sterling the Bank of England would be setting its interest rates.

Anyone who seriously considers listening to any financial advice offered on after hours should probably just give up on society and go live an animal life in some jungle throwing crap at predators until they get digested whole by a snake.

Latchy

There might be a few I think most people would have the common sense and go into the financial threads to seriously look for advice .

gufnork pounds, that's what you all want to put your money into. Incidently, has anyone else noticed that we're heading towards 2012?

The end is nigh.
