No, you missed out Europe's vines being ruined by arctic temperatures.
Much scarier as we might have to face armageddon without any booze.

We give up on the idea of returning to Britain and enjoy being somewhere else. Sorry, no better advice really as nobody has a bloody clue what the relative currency values will be from one month to the next. Not worth worrying about; just save what you can save, enjoy what you can spend and sod the exchange rate.

I heard that the ECB is also going to be reducing interest rate too since inflation figures were lower than expected

Pound Rallies against Euro

1.00 GBP = 1.11311 EUR according to Xe.com

Just set up a Euro account as I get paid in Euros. Rate was a little more favourable for me this time last week so had the intention of converting all the money from latest invoice into sterling right away, not sure what to do now though. I've got enough sterling to cover my uk expenses for a few months so I can either sit on my Euros for the time being and hope for the pound to weaken again or I can cut my losses now. Hard to tell really, how do you other people who work in Euroland deal with this month to month?
