Re: Pounds down again.
There is a glimmer of light in the gloom.
However, with only one month of the financial year to go, the government still looks set to beat its borrowing target of £127bn for 2011-12, though not by as much as previously anticipated.
Pound isn't down much, has average 1.19/1.20 for ages. Footsie down though...maybe budget jitters

Re: Pounds down again.
where does this "out of the blue" bit come from ? ?
surely this is March, the new fiscal year starts in a couple of weeks (6 Apr IIRC) and the final figures are being balanced
on top of that, all those with budgets are making sure they have at least spent to or over their limit to ensure they get the same amount next year
some of this comes down to the macho idea that the bigger the budget the bigger the manager, it has nothing to do their ability to actually control and rein in a budget - like they expect the public to do
