I have a Silver Jubilee book, an interesting book
In 1930 there was a run on the £ according to it.
Gold soared - by 1932 gold was very valuable - high prices were paid according to it.
This is some elses book on the internet - its the 3rd from the bottom, right hand page

Heading reads 1932 - "rush to sell old gold"
We are not even at 1930 yet? [i.e no stock crash or sudden run £]. Anyone got a gold chart in £ in the 1930s? $ chart is no good as price was fixed.
i will put up pics of my book at some point....
