I see that sterling has gone over €1.22 on the spot market, heading in a nice direction :)

Yes, good rates yesterday Sunman, topped up at 1.63 USD and 1.20 Euro - went back for some more today and they both had gone down a point :(

although the Eurozone is still getting some bad press there is a highly positive undertone, I own a little bit of a European Smaller Companies fund which has been flying lately, and the bad bond markets have mostly recovered, property buyers'll be back next :shock:

sterling has crept over €1.25 on the spot market, looking forward to our visit to the worlds' best ex fisherman's hamlet next week, the bit of extra cash means we can study the menus on the walls of Jota Lita & A Gale rather than Bom Bord, & possibly enjoy an after dinner drink in Mungo's, hashtag excitement :D :D

Lucky you Sunman, enjoy your trip - last time I was in Mungo's they had changed it into a Gin Palace :shock:

I panicked and got my euros out early - still got €1.19 though. Not bad as the tourist exchage rate is not much better at the moment (probably cost me about €100 on 3 grand). Roll on 12th July :D :D :D

Tourist rate for Euros in Bristol (best buys) today was 1.23. We got 1.225 the other week - commission free.
