1GBP = 1.59CHF (lowest since at least before 1985)
That'll be the lowest since the beginning of the world.

In 1985 there were about CHF3.50 to the pound.

In the 1950s the Swiss called the CHF20 note a pound as that was what it was worth - a bit like the British used to call the half crown (2/6 or 12.5p today) a 'half dollar' when there were US$4 to the pound. Aye them were the days...
