just john Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Having just transfered through Nationwide at €1.17[:'(] (shouldn't have I know), I then got this offer earlier this week, FairFX Euro rate hit its highest peak in 20 months, beating high street providers and our other prepaid competitors.This weekend they will be keeping the rate of €1.20 to £1, giving you time to purchase a FairFX Euro Card or top up. That compares with just €1.08 for £1 in July 2011 (you're now getting more than 11% more Euro for your money). http://www.fairfx.com/wizard/start/card_recharge I bought some, usual disclaimers etc.only to read this morning, .telegraph. /Taxpayer-stumps-up-another-10bn-to-save-euro. is this the Sarko leaving present?

idun Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Better rate, well we transfer euros to £'s so is it a better rate? No actually it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chezstevens Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 :) has been good for you for a couple of years. Had our house since 1993, seems to run in cycles ... hopefully coming up to a rise .... 1.35 would be great (won't be holding my breath). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Good for us?No, unexpectedly better, in spite of the chancellor taking his 20%. Will we ever make up the difference as to how mad property prices became in the UK compared to our once expensive bit of France, no never. Not that our bit of France deflated........ just had slow sensible inflation. So we take what we get and appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
