Sterling Crashing against the Euro

€1 = £0.8927
IR£1 = £1.1335


Sterling taking an absolute battering against the euro. Some ecomomists and financal observers feel that by year the Pound and the Euro will be trading on a par.

Buy your euros now if you havent already. If you save 10% that £50 saving if the average traveller (not Gypsy) takes £500 with them for a weeks skiing.

Bloody aweful makes me glad I went to Florida this year and got $2 to the £! Mind you not now you don't.

re: Sterling Crashing against the Euro

I'm exchanging 16 lev notes for £4. That works out at 4 lev to the pound if there's any takers?

re: Sterling Crashing against the Euro

Never seen a 16 lev note. What do they look like?

re: Sterling Crashing against the Euro

A little bigger then a 10, but a little smaller than a 20

re: Sterling Crashing against the Euro

And it gets worse the Post Office had Levs ut at 1.98!!!!
Will the last person to leave the country please turn the light off!

re: Sterling Crashing against the Euro

Further falls today and more expected. i hope some of you took note and acted last week. thank me later

re: Sterling Crashing against the Euro

I went to the PO today and spent £200 on 210 euros.

A friend came back from skiing in France last week and he said the euro was at 99p there.

What I have heard is that it will drop further and then pick up in the New Year, maybe up to 1.25/1.30. I certainly hope so, as I have a bill of around 800 euros to pay in February. And to think I could have booked with Balkan and probably paid less than doing it independently!

re: Sterling Crashing against the Euro

Theres not a chance in hell that the pound will recover to the levels you quote in 2 months IMHO. The euro will strenghten further against the pound unfortunatley where it will remain for quite some time.

re: Sterling Crashing against the Euro

i think your right...the £ will recover eventually but cant see it happening in jan....the euro zone are a few months behind us but they will feel the pinch...a strong euro is no good manufacturing etc...
