| 0:00.0 | A very warm welcome to consuming issues here on Share Radio. |
| 0:09.5 | I'm Georgie Frost here every weekday from 9 until 1 with my producer Annie Weston on digital |
| 0:14.0 | online and through the Share Radio mobile app, making the pound in your pocket go a little bit further. |
| 0:19.4 | This is the time of the week where we welcome the team from This is Money, the award-winning financial website and money section of the |
| 0:25.0 | mail online into the studios. Editor Simon Lambert here today with journalist Mark Schofman |
| 0:29.7 | and what's next for the pound we'll be talking about up against the euro sinking against |
