Loco driving wheels:

Alan Gibson will do you for OO! If you think Romfords are expensive, I'd better not tell you about Ultrascale!

And if you want real cheap then plasic centred ...

I don't mind paying for quality :-)

Thanks for your efforts!

"With the collapse of the euro and the Japanese Yen, the price of imported items will rise over the coming months"

How is that supposed to work?

-- Richard

Probably for the same reason that VAT in "Scalelink" land seems to have risen 3 days before that of the rest of the UK!...

PS, that has got to be one of the worst website around, forget web 1.0, that site feels almost like web 0.1, if it wasn't for the images.

You'll need more euros to buy the same imported (Chinese) stuff.

Wow, when did we join the euro .....

Cheers, Simon

As goes the euro, so goes the pound.

Bollocks! The pound is actually quite strong, the euro OOH is hanging on by it's finger tips, the euro is fast becoming equivalent to "Junk Bond" status - being artificially kept alive by creative accounting within the euro-zone and money from the IMF. I suggest that you listen/read the works of euro realists, or just the non euro-land finance markets, rather than the political propaganda put out by the eurocrats who run the EU (worried as they are about their careers)...

Over 5 yrs the =A3 has tanked against the euro (from around 1.40). The trend over the last 2 yrs, however, shows a modest gain over the euro. This will most likely continue as the great European fiscal project unwinds.

Mebbe so, but the pound and the euro have both fallen relative to the=20 CAD, pound at 1.55 +/-, euro at 1.35 +/- the last few weeks.

Happy New Year! Wolf K.

More like we follow the dollar

I.e. the American dollar, which is currently worth less than the Canadian dollar and at par with the Australian dollar.

The US dollar to be pedantic, Canada is the largest country in North America.

Erm, here in Canada, we all know what "American dollar" means. Really.

The pound crashed mainly during 'quantative easing'. The market is not stupid. If there are 30% more pounds then they are worth 30% less. The worst exchange rate I got in 2010 was 1.07 pounds to a euro. I'm paying 89p at the moment, not because the pound is doing well, but because the pound is doing so much worse.

Were are (were) you buying your currency, was this a retail, commercial or inter-bank rate?

You mean you know what is intended by the term. What "American Dollar" means is a pan-two continents of America Dollar, something that clearly does not exist.

Don't go there, again, Greg.

A word means what its users intend by it.
