No, there was not an imbalance-GBP or similar. I've seen them before, but
have always resorted to a backup without the error imbalance and sorted out
the source of the error.

Unposting the transaction, deleting it, posting it and paying it got the
things to balance okay.

I now have
Debit: Expenses -> Stock £207.45
Credit: Assets -> Bank account £207.45

Trial balance matches debits and credit.

Now I'm left with an unreconciled transaction. Should I change the
reconciliation status of all those more recent to "n" rather than "y"? I
have never deleted a reconciled transaction before. But I did not seem to
have a lot of choice in this case.
