LOL, I can just imagine the scene now:

INTERIOR, HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY OFFICE

PHONE RINGS

SOROS: Hi, my name is George Soros, I'm a hedge fund manager and international speculator. I noticed that you're trying to prop up the British pound, but rather than try to profit from this, I figured I'd just call and give you guys the heads up that it's not going to work.

TREASURY OFFICIAL: Oh my God, you're right! We'll issue a public statement right away, admitting that we've been wrong and that we're putting an immediate end to the policy. Thanks so much for the warning, kind sir!
