It’s true, it was in 1969 that the Man walked on the Moon for the very first time. I have just watched this audio presentation on BBC, it is totally worth it!!

Genius idea!

New record: sterling vs euro!

December 11, 2008
the euro

the euro

Absolutely unbelievable!!

It is at the lowest level since the euro was launched in 1999.

in BBC News

As a true emigrant, I watch very closely the evolution of the markets, in particular when it deals with the evolution of the sterling vs the euro. Everything has its ups and downs but it is very interesting to observe what can be compared to the butterfly effect. Everything starts with the sub-prime market in the USA. How fragile its construction was led to a deep and constrained crisis in the USA which basically flew towards Europe. Financial situations are felt withing every European country.

Likely to be ever surprising, the numbers 1£=0,887€ will stuck in this story…

Correction!!! Only in my dreams… the conversion rate is rather: 1€=0,887£. Thanks Joãozinho!
