Value of the UK Pound

Interesting take on the value of the UK Pound here if not somewhat sensationalist:

"Ministers fear the break-up of the euro could have a devastating effect on Britain, dashing hopes of a recovery and sending the economy back into recession."

.. maybe they should have projected this many moons ago, then perhaps sterling wouldn't be in the shape it is now?

I liked the exchange at 2.26 when I was at university in England but visiting my wife in Canada and had to make my student loan stretch. However now that I live in Canada and have to pay back my student loan in Sterling while earning Canadian dollars, well I would be happy for even a momentary collapse of Sterling so I could pay it off a little quicker.
