  BBC NEWS | Business | Lessons learned on 'Black Wednesday'
Black Wednesday, as 16 September 1992 came to be known, provided one of the most memorable failures of post-war British economic policy.
It was the defining failure of John Major's government; it was a huge boost to Euro-scepticism; it made currency traders like George Soros rich.
At the time, it seemed that after Black Wednesday, Britain was sailing into the unknown.

 BBC NEWS | Business | Q&A: The ERM and Black Wednesday
The currency was eventually forced out of the ERM on a day known as Black Wednesday.
Black Wednesday, 16 September 1992, was the day Britain crashed out of the ERM - a system for tying the pound and other currencies' values to that of the German mark, and was a precursor to the creation of the single European currency.
However, then-chancellor, Norman Lamont, has said the cost of the ERM has been exaggerated, and the costs were outstripped by the gains as Black Wednesday helped to 'kill off inflation'.

  Cisco, ISS File Injunction to Gag Researcher, Black Hat   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The two companies jointly filed an injunction and temporary restraining order Wednesday against researcher Michael Lynn and the Black Hat Briefings Conference, demanding that Lynn and Black Hat Inc. stop disseminating information on security holes in IOS (Internetwork Operating System) that Cisco Systems Inc. alleges was illegally obtained.
A Black Hat spokesperson said she was not aware that the companies had taken legal action.
On Wednesday, Black Hat organizers announced that a planned talk on the IOS hole would be cancelled, prompting Lynn to resign his position at ISS (Internet Security Systems Inc.) and give the talk anyway, to a packed audience of security experts and hackers.

 Gordon Brown's Black Wednesday | Anatole Kaletsky - Times Online
With Britain's foreign policy still firmly in the hands of the White House and European policy managed from Brussels, it is hard to see why Mr Brown bothers to turn up to work.
Financial upheavals so powerful that they topple the whole machinery of government seem to strike Britain about every 15 years - Black Wednesday in 1992, the Winter of Discontent in 1979, the 1967 and 1949 devaluations, the 1933 collapse of the Gold Standard.
I think the only thing missing is that the government should have actually closed the Northern Rock down and repaid the depositors 80 p on the pound as well.

 Chicagoist: Black Wednesday
Yes, the day the Bank of England had to withdraw from the ERM is a hated day indeed.
That's my point, people have suddenly appropriated the term to apply to the Wednesday before Thanksgiving now.
I think that term is new this year...we always used to call it "the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving." Too long, I guess.
