In any case, the streets are swept bone-dry by thousands of snowplows.

Not necessarily: it means that moneymen so distrust the pound's value that they will seize on almost any excuse to dump sterling.

Even the rare bit of good British economic news cannot soothe these jitters. On Oct. 26 the British government reported that unemployment in September shrank by 78,000, to a total of 1,377,110.
