    El Gordo has no problem removing the trident from the 50p piece, its anachronistic and has no place in the modern world. A bit like the ones in Faslane then ?

        On the edge of 1.30..... near the 1.2x range....
        I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

          i just looked to go change some pounds for euro's at lunch, most high street vendors (including post office and co-op travel) are advertising 1.25 - 1.27, thomas cook was doing 1.28...

          so for my £300 i now get just 377-384 euro's.. very depressing.

          AND it now means my ski pass, board hire and lessons have all gone up since booking the hol 3 months ago..

          ski pass was £120 now £141
          Board hire £80, now £100
          lessons, was £115, now £136

            But look on the bright side, when you come back the Euro's you bought will get your more pounds on the way back.

              The pound is weak against the Kiwi Peso.. and its really annoying me. How can any currency be weak against the Kiwi Peso.. its only one step up from bartering in turnips

                  I don't want to sound smug, but my villa sale is in Euros and everyday that goes by I am making even more money.

                      Yes. They agreed only to pay in cash, used, non-consecutive bank notes and for me to ignore any that might appear to have blood stains on them.

                      Just waiting for the deposit and contracts to be signed.
