The rate should read £1:1.1775 euros

Although the days when a pound would buy 1.6 euros are well gone, just imagine how much French tax would be if you had to put 16 euros for every £10 instead of 11.7 euros per £10. Though perhaps we could afford it!

Thank you Charles and apologies from the sub-editor
