Boiling a frog Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 [quote user="Maricopa"]Tourist rates again.1.11 according to this site.[/quote] I do not quite see the point you are making. A normal punter coming to France or for that matter anywhere in the euro zone will receive the tourist rate, and in some places one will receive less than a euro per pound. The average punter could not care less about the interbank rate they are only interested in the euro contra the pound in their pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maricopa Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 [quote user="Boiling a frog"]I do not quite see the point you are making. [/quote]That the average British person resident in France is less concerned about the tourist rate, and that therefore there is no need to cause unnecessary worry.
