There are currently 4 active markets inside Ripple:
BTC/XRP bitstamp (most liquid)
BTC/XRP weex (bigger spreads, but better deals sometimes)
USD/XRP bitstamp
USD/BTC bitstamp
Trades happened in all these markets, and USD/BTC bitstamp is following MtGox price movements to a reasonable extent, even though spreads are not that good. All in all, Ripple gateway order books have good potential to develop into full-blown currency exchanges over time.

What do you mean by "using BTC"? Can't you just simply withdraw GBP from you bitstamp wallet to your ripple wallet?
I'm new to Bitstamp the fact they are a (GBP offering) Ripple trusted Gateway brought me there. Although it seems all funds not in BTC held at the exchange are held in USD. I could find no way to sell BTC/GBP only USD/BTC.
Why doesn't Ripple offer GBP/BTC pair its the third largest currency that BTC is traded in and if Ripple is targeting bitcoin users to get this project jump-started then it'd be a good thing to offer users. Also can anyone answer this - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1564551 -
This might sound stupid but does anyone know how to withdraw GBP IOU's to Ripple from Bitstamp using BTC

The ONLY active market against XRPs as a counter currency is now in BTC/XRP pair with BTCs being bitstamp.net's IOUs of course. Even USD/XRP pair has no trades in it yet...

Stupid questions are the best kind.
Answer: ripple creates a distributed order book for all currencies / assets (in ripple they are all IOUs tho, except XRPs of course )
If Ripple succeeds, the Bitcoins's what-happens-when-mtgox-goes-away problem is solved.
Cheers ...

1. Open account at bitstamp.net (fast and easy)
2. Fund it with some BTCs (fast and easy)
3. Click "withdraw" and choose ripple
4. Upon attempt to withdraw you'll be taken to a ripple page telling you to give trust to bitstamp's master key at least in the amount of your withdrawal.
5. Grant "bitstamp.net" and their master key enough BTC IOU trust.
6. Procede to withdraw bistamp's BTC IOUs into your ripple address.
7. Observe both XRP and BTC balances in your ripple account.
The End.
