Possibly - or at least ownership might move shores but hasn't that always been the case?

Fettling, on the other hand and given the numbers involved who are based in the UK, might look a little more attractive.

Whether things will stay that way for the next 12 months is anyone's guess.

Perhaps owners will just hang on to see if the pound rises again Mike.
As for Marmite-never seen it over here,not something I would be looking for though.

Yes, of course. Any investment, whether it be shares, paintings, old cars or whatever- ownership drifts from shore to shore with currency fluctuations.....

And if 'staycations' become more popular with Brits next summer, you will probably find amateur motor racing will follow the same trend (to a lesser extent).....

Marmite? Yuk!

I'm way down the bottom of social classes as will be at BSE market in morning to buy jellied eels and whelks!

Prefer Oxo to Bovril

They had that at footy matches when I was a kid.

Yes. My grandmother used to cook it. You can buy it here but I haven't tried to cook it myself.

You should try the langoustines. They go well with a tomatoe and garlic sauce. But we digress.

We used to eat Langoustines regularly at a very good resturant on river bank at Auxerre.

Superb!
