Kissing Babies!
BY IAN HUNTER
AND SO HALLOWEEN came and
went and the UK is still in the
EU - but instead we are on a
Christmas countdown! But wait,
we’re not counting how many
sleeps there are left till the big
fat fella in the red outfi t comes
down our chimney but instead
counting how many days there
are to yet another general
election.
Politicians of all colours are
on the road shaking hands
and kissing babies once
again as they try to sort out
the result of that dang June
2016 referendum by forming
a majority government on
December 12. Somehow I can’t
get that song by Hot Chocolate
out of my head but will it really
start and end with a kiss?
Meanwhile, as ever, life goes
on and the past month has seen
minor upticks in the value of
Sterling against the Euro and
The US Dollar. I’ve lost track of
how much I am set to lose by
changing my leftover dollars in
to Euros ahead of our planned
holiday to Spain in 2020. The
little guys always lose anyway
huh?
In the scheme of things the
FTSE is pretty steady, the 250
index more so as it has a wider
reach; BT and TalkTalk are down
a few points and Vodafone
almost unchanged.
I love the numerical neatness
of Gamma but t o be honest, I
prefer the big fat fella.
