Euros become cheaper compared to pound sterling

Sterling interest rates went higher the other day, and it now buys you €1.51 of this monopoly money they use for beer over here.

Dunno where it goes next of course, but I always have 1.45 kinda fixed in my brain when calculating, so 1.50 seems more like the new level.

me too

yeah, seems to have been up there a while now so prob the new 'standard', which I guess makes calculations a bit easier

"Monopoly Money" ?

Surely you mean the rubber currency with the picture of the dowdy German hausfrau matriarch of a dysfunctional family on it.

I just cannot get my head around Euros - still feels like "Toytown" money to me. Regretfully I think this makes it easier to slip through the fingers, although cleverly by locating myself in the arse end of nowhere I never actually need to buy anyone a drink.

Awh guys, you would have the same trouble with any money that's not sterling.

I think sterling is too big and ugly now as well as old fashion

Pisses me off now that I transferred a lot of money at 1.49, however I guess its almost impossible to get the highest amount, or to know which way its going. 4 weeks ago it was at 1.47, so its quite a bit of a gain.

Pound climbs. Euro isolated...
