I suppose I should state that all commercial products and services endorsed or mentioned here are presented here without any payment, knowledge or authorisation from the organisations concerned. But then, who would pay to be here?

Interesting. If this is true and comes to pass, then, firstly, sell your dollars. Secondly, buy euro. And, probably, abandon Sterling. I’ve long held that it makes little sense for the UK to retain Sterling and sit outside the euro. If the dollar collapses (which it surely would if the Arab states and China sold off their massive reserves), then the pound would be fatally weakened.
