It was U$D 1.2743 / GBP.

If the Remoaners would STFU, May sack Carney and Hammond, raise interest rates and get on with a hard Brexit it would be 1.5 / 1.6 to 1 GBP in a couple of weeks and continue up.

I was marginally wrong in calling the low point, it never got to 1.2. :o)

the EU wont let Italy slip from its grasp,

Who will be next one wonders.
