This one? "Europe’s biggest power company by market value is steering clear of pound-denominated bonds because of the uncertainty caused by the U.K.’s decision to exit the European Union."

You were talking about exchange rates not the bond market. You got confused on the currency values and now you are deflecting to the bond markets - which are not shown on your or Schmee's graphs.

Couldn't give a toss about bond markets as we are talking about currency graphs and currency exchange rates relating to actual cash values of currencies... but you do like a deflection when your side is losing...

No, I don't suppose you do know. You made a claim that the pound had been falling for 3 or 4 years. You didn't qualify your statement ( e.g. By stating against what currency/ currencies). Schnee showed a graph which showed that you were wrong against at least one currency. You said the graph was...

Schmee did compare it and on his graph it hadn't been falling for 3 or 4 years as you claimed. You then produced a graph to prove your point and claimed Schmee's graph was wrong..

Maybe against one single currency, but against another it wasn't. So your point has not been proven. It was of course the Brexit vote that pushed it suddenly down to this point and there is no reason to expect a rebound - unless we put a beak on Brexit or stay virtually as we were..

Er... not necessarily.... lf you want a more realistic/ relevant idea you compare against all major currencies. Just the Euro, or just the Dollar can be effected by their own problems/ events.

As I thought.... so I am not the silly one then.......;-)

Before deciding that I look a bit silly I would wait for Schmee to explain his graph. It may well be the value of the pound against all major currencies - not just the euro. If that is the case, you may well end up looking silly. Let's wait and see.

Can you explain the first graph to Grendel and KoK?

You said the highest point was 2014. was that the massive gamble? Why then and not after the referendum had been announced?

Where is the massive gamble? And what happened to the pound mid 2016?

Strong means in relation to what it was. It was 83p, it is now 93p. It has absolutely nothing to do with parity to the currency unit. But there again you claim to know more about these things than I do.

As Schmee's graph shows, you are way off the mark. It was Brexit. The pound will find it's natural level way lower than when we were in the EU. The advantages of a cheap pound will eventually by eaten away by inflation. The stock market is high partly because of low interest rates and because...

I think Trump got help from Russia. I think Putin is pissed off that the help didn't bring what he wanted. In fact Trump daren't show too much preference for Putin because of the ongoing investigations and military people - who are wary of Russis - are in key positions in the Trump cabinet. I...

I asked you to explain why you thought the euro was strong against the pound. I gave you a clue. It has to do with Brexit whereas you were saying it has been declining gradually for 3 or 4 years anyway..

Well, you should know there was no such thing as an email 50 years ago being clued up history. I was only suggesting you point your argument out to Putin as he seems to think the USA could cause a wider conflict as I also suggested. I may not have a clue, but I suspect Putin has a wealth of...

Yes they would.. but would China just say.. ok.? He knows he sits in a place where neither side ( US or China ) wants to make the first move for fear of the other ( in such a case, China replying by targeting some military target in South Korea ). Let's hope he is just bluffing... but if you say...

Email Putin then...

Maybe Putin thinks the same as I do... Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned the Trump administration the continuing hostility between the US and North Korea was close to deteriorating into a “large-scale conflict” and said the only way to de-escalate tensions was through talks.
