Rag,
"Every opinion I have expressed on this thread is my own"

I wonder if that includes the pound "soaring" after a rise of one half of one cent. (less than falf of one percent.)

I never expressed that opinion.
My point was that that you were wrong about the growth figures being bad. That was my opinion and I backed it with reports in both the Telegraph and Independent which both said the growth figures were good.

I did not choose them for their comments on the currency, but you people chose to make an issue of that.
I did not.
