Because it was revealed that the people who were supposed to be running the country were too having an internecine war. The value of the pound plummeted.

yep, as above it's moves all the time. There are also variations depending on the source of the xchange. Is the google currency exchange the same service as the "bank in Eire" ? eg quite often you can get a better rate just using a cashpoint.

an hour? PMSL! that's a life time in currency trading! There are millions of deals a second worldwide. The price can move by units of 1000ths of a cent/penny depending on the currency subdivision and relative comparison. Not usually so pronounced as your example but really mate they are never still.
