Hi ®§ammy€, Let me say, at the outset, that my question was somewhat "tongue-in-cheek" !! However, it is indeed sad, in my opinion, that so many great and time-honoured traditions in many parts of the world have suffered, or have disappeared, in the ongoing, and so-called, "march of progress". 
  Many of these traditions provided some of the "glue" which held those societies together and probably contributed to producing men and women of honour and integrity. 
  Yes .... the "Currencies game". Very much, in my opinion, like what goes on in Casinos. On which currency should one place one’s bet ??!! Probably not that dissimilar to what Nick Leeson got up to, which led to the collapse of Barings Bank in the 90’s. But I suppose I’m just a fairly risk-averse sort of chap !! |
