The strengthening Euro

[Dave near London]

Inflation down to 4% today (unexpected) , and exports well up , so there may be a slight tip in the UK / Euro favour.

Must try and get ove there sometime in the next few months, - still a good deal all round.

Thanks for that Dave near London. That's where I am from originally btw. West side. Origins. Eastend. Will start watching the £ euro again now and maybe buy soon, before Thread Needle Street put the brakes on to keep exports going. But maybe they have had enough so their pound gets more euros to bring down the loan/cost for the Portugal bail out. UK are being hit for a few billion. Cant remember the exact figure just now. Be worth knowing the date the deal will be signed off and buy just before. Mind you, if I knew such things for sure, a cute 20 something would be typing this for me, whilst I got on wiv over stuff. mmmm Think on John

PS. Some high rollers may be stuck in the mud, as you would think that Cameron wants to keep the employment opportunities going and keep the £ artificially low to help exports for a while. Some 40% of our GDP goes to Europe. ( and some ships come back with a bit of weed on board. Then they have a game of hide and seek with a few geezers in blue uniforms. Quite often, majority rules and the weed ends up on your door step)

its going up. Rate now this minute GBP 1 = EUR 1.12 (Tourist Rate)

Just moved up again to GBP 1 = EUR 1.1231

Diff to buy from them, but an indicator to what the post office etc may do tomorrow and on

[Dave J]

The post office is now offering a lower than yesterday rate of €1.0921. Thats quite a serious drip by the looks of things. I wander if they do these drops to cover a rise that i'd have expected by now to offset trading in billions at a different rate and thus loose millions of they gave up a more truer rate of €1.12?.

Not looking nice this evening down from the 1.12 last night to 1.101 now. Let's hope it picks up again soon

It's shite in my home town today.. £100 gets €108
Was told it's been getting lower each day this week, so I had to grab the bull by the horns and do the exchange today
But at least It's done

Yeah that is the best option in my opinion. And then don't look any more at exchange rates because if it changes or the Euro falls through you would not be a happy bunny :S

I got my last E200 today for £190.04 (4 f'ing p )@ the PO

[Dave J]

Been away visiting to kill time this week so not been on the net. But checking today the post office was like €1.10??. So there has been a change for the better since wednesday by 1 cent.

My money was at home and I was away so could'nt have exchanged anyways. So for me I'm going to have to wait till either first thing monday to change or just wait till I get there. Seeing as things are getting better might pay to wait till later on monday as I'm thinking the rate may get that half a cent rise per day for the week. Then again I thought the same last week lol.

[sylersky]

There is also sizeable local variation.
I saw anything between £1 = € 1.07 to € 1.15.
I took the latter, £300 worth.
Have more to change - may wait to see if it improves even more.
