oldgit72 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I think that 1.25 is about right. When the pound was at 1.50 it made the euro cheap and at parity expensive. At 1.25 all things being equal, the pound goes as far in France as it does in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braco Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 We are at the buying stage where even a 0.1 cent movement (in either direction) educes a mood swing. I am sure many members have experienced similar feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, every one percent move is making it 1pct easier to stay in France for many people it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
