€46 off my pension this month!!
198 euros less from a regular transfer made yesterday compared to 5 weeks ago. #borsitax
GBP/EUR 1.314 May 31st
GBP/EUR 1.191 June 4th
And it's down 2 more points today.
Wouldn't you like to get your hands round his neck?!?!
Roger, the whole lot of them that set foot on the big red lie bus.
Still -- after a nasty premonition, I booked November holidays on June 16th (with pounds) and saved over £300!!
That's quite a drop.
Is this about the lowest rate that sterling to euro has been ? Can't be so far off ?
It's close, back up to 1.18 today
No it's been significantly lower than this. It was near parity in I think 2009/2010 was it? - I did once see it drop below parity very briefly, I think it was on Sea France (RIP) - I remember I actually took a photo, it looked so bizarre on the board - before it started rising again.
Blimey - I don't remember that.
Fingers crossed that things start to move in the right direction.
Apparently it was a year earlier than I thought - I remember it was at the end of the year because I was going back the the UK for Christmas
