£ hits €1.25

Ah but it's flight not resort prices that are the killer especially long haul.
Sounded too good to be true.

True, I don't know of a way to buy flights in $ but you can still save a fair wedge.

My last hotel bill in the Maldives was just over $8k (That's room/meals/drinks/massages/scuba etc) which at the time exchanged to approx £6k. Apart from the flight the same holiday today would cost £4k. That seems a worthwhile saving to me.

By booking direct with your chosen resort it's not rocket science mate.

tried on that tinternet thingy direct.

Like this....

£1 = 2$

or

£1 = 1.2€

All destinations priced in dollars will be significantly cheaper. The Maldives, for example are a bargain at the moment.

It's almost cheaper to go to the Seychelles on US$ than it is to go to Benidorm. This is a good thing, no ?

I've just worked out what my rate would be if (please when) that happens and it's almost threadedesque.

On my current contracts I'm mostly paid in €

Which is nice.

When it hits 0.75 Euro that will be a fair reflection of the British economy compared to Euroland.

Surely the mighty City should have made it 100 euros for 1 pound?

I'd much prefer if UK was making (R&D - not assembly) Mercedes and BMW cars here, rather than 10 Cities.

Sort your tulip out UK

This weak pound is damaging my retirement plans.
