pound and EURO up? Do you make this stuff up as you go along or are you relying upon Cliff Notes?<LOL>

Truth is:

The Brits went to fixing Gold 2 x a day in 1968

Other than the EURO being conceived in 1943
---during the Bretton-Woods Currency Accord --the rebuild Europe after WWII blueprint--signed off on by 56 NATIONS,

----and the EURO timeline for its pocket jingling release scheduled for implementation 48 years later in 2001,
...........you are obviously of the mistaken belief that...
the House of Rothschild was nervous about the EURO event 48 years early
and needed to practice???
by establishing a PM Gold Fix as early as 1968???

FWIW... existing AM Fixing ritual began in year 1919...

Time to update your database, E>C>

Could it have been that they were bled dry by WW2 - lend lease and the pounds (tons actually) of flesh which were extracted by Uncle Sam and the fact that they, unlike continental Europe, were not recipients of the Marshall Plan. But 'third world' is a little extreme I believe - London is still a key financial center for many markets.
