The new Euro Rate - So what is it worth today in 2010

[tonyco1]

We did this Last Year!

Lets keep an eye on the Euro and see if it's going to be good to us this 2010 Holiday!

I was quoted locally,

€1.108    - - what is it going for in your neck of the woods

[swedebasher]

Whhhaaaattt.....1.05 hereabouts. Would be interesting to hear what people get from the likes of FairFX and the like.

[tonyco1]

I can't understand why we seem to get a slightly higher exchange rate near Heathrow, this shouldn't be!!
- - - - - unless it's because of competition and in other area's of the UK, they can get away with a poor rate!!

got mine from crown currancy exchange on monday 1.1625 to the £ best rate i have seen wiil not get till may 17th some people worry as you pay then get it later but we have had no trouble we have been getting it here for years

[zoe]

have just had a look and i did it at the right time gone right down again

[tonyco1]

The pound was hit when worries of a hung parliament or Gordon winning again seemed possible.

[zoe]

i was not going to order till next week then it was on the news about the pound going down so i got on the internet to see and it was from the night before so put my order in and not long after it went down but has gone down even more now

[tonyco1]

Looks like Mr Pound is going down on you Zoe - - Not good - but could be fun!! LOL

[zoe]

tony tut tut smut smut lol !!!

[don]

Mr Pound is going down like the Pompey ...

[tonyco1]

Zoe  - - as if!! 

Well as usual Gordon has his finger in the Pound's performance!

some Prices are about 30-40% up on 2008 for us Brits!

Thomas Cook in Great Yarmouth yesterday was at 1.09. Might have to go and get some if all the horror stories about the election come out true, if we end up with a hung parliament or even worse, more of Brown and cronies then the £ will sink out of sight.

Zoe who are crown currency ??

Edit: .. just googled them, I see now, its taking a bit of a gamble with long term exchange rates
I'm sure theres much better rates if you were changing say £1000 ... I'll have a look with forex and the like

[don]

Gordon Brown should be well hung..... And I don't mean like game.....Or in the trouser department !

[zoe]

have gone with crown currancy exchange for the last 5 yrs and no problems i think it puts people off as you have to send money and wait a few weeks to get the money to get the best rate but we have had no problems
