Thanks Joe,
I do see your point about interference, but remember that the BoE has only
been free from this since 1997, not 1799, but 1997! Before that economic
damage was often caused by tinkering to alter such things as exchange rates.
What is done can also be undone, even if it is stupidity to do so.
If we do not exchange before then, have a good holiday and a prosperous new
year.
Tim
