Higher now then almost all of 2013. 1.644 is the target to meet then beat, I think its strong after struggling since September its won that fight

Britain has the worlds strongest currency. Now you know I keep hearing high praises of sterling.
Has the chancellor added confidence so that we can clear 1.644 or not..

Is it possible to pay things like hotel bill now, so fixing the cost & exchange rate applicable to that. Ive no idea on the possible tactics and if its safe to pay ahead or not

Right now everyone thinks Carney is more likely to raise rates as UK growth appears strong, so it centers round that apparently

No update on the thread for 6 weeks!

Could someone organize the rate to drop to about $1.30 to the pound for the late August / early September time period. Me and the gang are heading back to see the folks!

Thanks in advance
