"Re Monday's gold comments - you're paying a lot for sovereigns at £790! I think you're mixing sovereigns and ounces up - no doubt you'd still get a decent dinner for two for £185, about the current price of a sovereign, but I fear you'd have to pass on the vintage champagne . . ."

David Fuller's view You are absolutely right and many thanks for this correction. It was a silly error on my part, late in the day. I Googled 'gold sovereign value' and mistakenly used the price for gold bullion in sterling. I will amend the original comment.
