The pound is soaring is it, well yes it has gone up .. slightly.

Today I can get 1.1214 Euro to the pound as opposed to Friday when I could get 1.1197 to the pound.

This is of course somewhat removed to a period years ago when I could get 1.4159 Euro to the pound and certainly far less than the day before Brexit when I could still get 1.3154 Euro to the pound.

In case this is beyond some people to comprehension before Brexit in return for 1OOO Pounds I would have got 1315.54 Euro, today I would receive 1124.40 Euro.

A deficit of 190.70 Euro for the same 1000 pounds.

Tell you what Iains, if and when the pound returns, as it may/may not, return to that value before Brexit give me a shout would you.
