Yeah,im hearing you there mate!!, positive mental attitude and we be alrighty

I'd hold off as well, I dont think it'll go down between now and 420.

Its been stuck at 1.08 for over a week now. I think it will rise a little before 420.
Ive decided I aint changing anymore £'s. I'll use the €550 ive changed already, then hit up the cash machines after that.

I remember those days i remember getting 3.30 guilder to the £ and the notes were alot nice than the euro notes

Yeah the guilders were the nicest currency I ever came across, the 50 being my fave:

Weed was a lot cheaper but it isn't just down to the euro, Nol (Willie Wortels owner) wrote this on Channels this morning:

We buy from the same market as the exporters, but they set the price for the whole market. If an exporter offers 4.5 for a kilo, I can not buy that kilo for less, I have to pay export prices at the backdoor, or run out of weed. After that, the tax man orders us to make a 100 % profit, so the coffeeshops have no say in the price level of cannabis whatsoeever.

Online post office rates are at 1.1090 right now , best ive seen it in a while

Just got 560euro to 500£ english at The Change Group Corporaqtion Ltd.

Has to be done online,and delivered the next day,recorded delivery or recorded delivery on Saturday for an extra £2.

I got 640 for £577 online with the P.O. that will do me for now

I went to change money yesterday , and forgot you can only take out a certain amount from a cash machine ! Doh anyway cashed £400 got €445 do me just now got over €1.10 just !

Makes my trip seem that bit "realer"

On the verge of clicking that button to get my €'s now...

www.travelmoneyservices.co.uk are showing a rate of 1.1271 for min £500 within a 10-20 delivery period - i.e. if I want to order £500 and have it delivered before I leave on say, the Monday or Tuesday, I can order tomorrow (9th) and have it Monday 19th, or the latest I could do would be to order on Saturday(10th) for a Tuesday 20th slot.

So £500 would get me €563.55 - about €10 better than the Post Office right now...

Oh, what to do....

Will the Post Office rate go through the roof in the next 10 days?

I know what to do... skin up.

Ahhh....whether it goes up of down its still only a couple of euro's, i take a hundred or so euro's to start me off when i get there, and then use cashpoints when i need money,

but when you think about it, it used to be 1.38 to the pound!!!!!!!

11days left

I see the euro has taken a small drop today, was good yesterday, we changed another £500 up and got 570euro, so we picked up around an extra 130euro to 1000£.Should be alrighty now.

..this fascinates me and I have always wondered how an above-board/semi legal Dutch set-up actually operates..I mean is it like Uk with 100's of dodgy middle men in effect who rely on it being smuggled like anywhere else, or in Dam are there official 'legal' suppliers (which is my fantasy scenario). I know indoor growers in holland are permitted a strict quota on how much they can grow, whether they observe it or not is another matter, but Im more curious to know how all the hash gets to Dam...anyone know who's connected to the CS's...obviously I just mean in general how does it work, no specifics pls..
