 The pound had a strong week, racing    
 ahead against the D-mark and clocking  
 up solid gains on the dollar.          
                                        
 Sterling is continuing to strengthen   
 despite the view in the City that      
 interest rates are likely to stay on   
 hold until after a General Election.
