Sprogster Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 £ seems to be on the slide again, as currently spot rate down to 1.167. Thought the slightly stronger £ over the last few months was too good to last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5-element Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Ha ha ha [:@] I should have known.It's taken me nearly 3 weeks to finally find the right procedure (thanks to the help of some folks here) to send a SWIFT transfer form to bring over my (modest!) Nationwide savings. Last time I'd looked, we were at 1.20.It's happened just every single time I have had to exchange money. I might as well get used to it.[:(] I wonder if it is a skill/talent that could be put to good use?You know, it's like picking always the wrong queue in the supermarket. I am a natural.

Quillan Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Don't worry, some bright spark will pop up shortly and tell you that it will be 1.25 by Christmas and 1.40 plus by next year. Well thats what happened around this time last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
