baypond Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 The financial world seems a slightly happier place this morning. Unusual for a Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plod Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 That means a litre of petrol is £1. I don't know how petrol companies work out the price; they must have some calculator that tells them that their profit forecast may fall below 20 billion and so they up the price.

Stan Streason Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Needed to buy some euros yesterday and found a site called 4x currency which gives live actual rates you can trade at. Unfortunately I could not set an account up in time but their rates were about 40cents better than I got through my broker.Got their live rates page open now as I type this, its fascinating - much better than most tv channels. (I have no link with 4x - only happened upon it through a google search yesterday).Has anyone actually used it. I tried a search on here but there was no reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used them a couple of times since.Easy to deal with, no hassle, delivered on time.The usual disclaimers... no connection with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I see that as soon as the City read this news on Living France the rate quickly fell back to 1.14 something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Perhaps this coming from Germany could have been a reason. http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/06022009/323/german-output-sheds-4-6-december-ministry.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton Redman Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Save for a three coloured icon in the top right hand corner the above appears to be a surelist painting of polar bear running off in a snow storm AKA a plain white screen.

baypond Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 unfortunately, no link, just a poor attempt at downloading an HTML format graph that the system doesn't like..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectateur Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 [quote user="valB"]Checked it yesterday morning and it was 1.25 but fell to 1.13 by afternoon[/quote]Sorry, perhaps you meant 1.15 because it hasn't been near 1.25 since last October.

baypond Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 blimey - how did you do that. I took two hours to get a blank box with a pretty pastel coloured thingy in the top left hand corner.Mine looked exactly like that when I pasted it, and I was 6 hours earlier than you!
