We have a plethora of companies advertising "we buy gold".
Now, if they're buying, they must be selling to someone.
But who?
I'm hoping it's the UK govt buying it to boost our currency.
Or is it some foreign country? Like china?

I hope it's not our government buying gold at a record high ::)

The Indians are quite fond of gold as well. ;)

Not neccessarily a bad thing - the govt can always print more fivers.
They can't make more gold - and we might need the gold to guarantee our new currency
when sterling goes t*ts-up

Yep.
That's what I mean.
Is the govt trying to replace that gold by buying up people's jewellery?
Or is it all going abroad (effectively, half the population doing what Brown did?)

I'll wager that the funeral parlours have a ready supply of "Cash for gold " bags handy...... ::) ::) ::)

Sold some a few months back, just tat that neither of us ever wore, packed it into a pre paid bag and got £1200.00! Paid for the roof repair on the house, a colleague at work whose brother is in the jewellery trade reckons that £1200.00 worth when smelted is probably worth about £3,000.00 so the companies do well out of it.
