Good for the economy they'll say, even if everything's made in China!

That's right. And the US peso drops yet more...

It appears to be the only solution the US has to the trade imbalance.
Bodes very ill for the future.

But still $1.359 to the euro, as it has been for several
weeks, now. Perhaps what you're saying is that the GBP
stronger than it has been?

Over the last few years, the dollar has really slid against both the
pound and the euro.

No. I was just registering my disgust at the weak, always weak,
dollar.

Now you have used facts to ruin Evelyn's evening.

Well, it's true I haven't been to England lately, so the GBP
exchange rate vis a vis the USD was not high on my list of
priority interests. However, last time I checked, the pound
was about $1.55 - $2.00 now, with the euro remaining the
same as it was then would logically suggest the pound has
risen in value. (I know, I know - "logic" and "economics"
have little to do with one another.)

And the rise has been telegraphed for weeks now.

'Flash' (probably Chinese government) money flowing in, again...

It'll go down again when the rate comes into line with everyone else.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

I don't know when the last time you checked was, because the Euro to
GBP exchange rate has remained almost constant for the last five years.
