    I was also thinking that sounded a tad optimistic.

      I hate to think what will be triggered by the rate passing parity. Down to about 1.20 or less in a couple of days, I'd guess.

        Crikey do you really think the £ could end up worth less than the €?

          If someone would sort this in time for Dec's invoice it would be highly appreciated.

              Oh the dilemma, I know, I know....

              Invoice before Christmas for early payment, or later for better rate?

                  I've wondered this for some time.

                  Where do you see quotes in EUR per 1 GBP quote convention ? Market convention is EURGBP (i.e. GBP per 1 EUR) e.g. 0.8781

                    e.g. uk.yahoo.com click on Finance then Currency Converter, for http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/currency-converter - the graph is "£1 is worth..."

                      1 pound to go down?

                      Must be a bit of a minger.
