I put high interest, as peoples savings would be worth more but come to think of it im probably wrong with that thought,
Can you explain the weak pound?

I said because the pound was weak, foreign goods will be more expensive and they will get more for their money when buying home produce, causing Brits to 'buy british' hence increasing demand...not sure if im right or not though :| can your remember what you put for the operating profit question number 1 I think?
