'65 would be better

Never seeing that anytime soon. Then again maybe if Trump comes in.

Although probably due a sharp bounce from these levels before further downside.

During the Second World War our 2s&6d coin known as half a crown was also called half a Dollar because the rate was very close to 4.
The slang term continued to be used even though the Pound dropped to about 2.4.
And of course vanished when Decimal currency was adopted.

Sure he didn't say eight Pints to the pound
