You avoided answering the question about your recorded EUR-GBP rate. 

However, the fact that the apparent EUR-GBP conversion differs between 
the three holdings suggests you may have (outdated) GBP prices for the 
latter two, which Gnucash would use in preference to a two-stage 
conversion (shares->EUR, EUR->GBP).

If you can buy GBP for EUR0.89662 each I'd be interested in knowing the 
source. Google tells me the rate today is GBP1=EUR1.11.
