Anyone know would it be cheaper if you were to convert your money to another currency and pay for your holidays would you save, i know you might say all prices are calculated the same but what if i bought US$ or another currency one thats booming japanese yen or one that is very low but about to recover for instance now and sat on it for a few months would it be better. sorry if i am confusing you but trying to explain what i am thinking sometimes does not come out the same on paper. 
The solving of a problem lies in finding the solvers.

This time last year having the hindsight to see what happened yes but not now, if anything it would cost you more.
Im pretty sure if everyone knew the £ would drop to circ $1.30 then we would all have changed our savings last year and cashed in this year.0
