Hi everyone
Because of the jet plane incident last week between Greece and Turkey the Lira has tumbled aganist the pound. Last week the exchange rate was approx 220 to the pound and you can now get 2.94 to 2.74. If you are going in the next couple of months it may be worth getting some of your spending money now! I've just been to the post office and got 2.74 to the pound.

But if ever I stray from the path I follow
Take me down to the English Channel
Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore!
'Cos love is free and life is cheap As long as I've got me a place to sleep
Clothes on my back and some food to eat I can't ask for anything more
Take me down to the English Channel
Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore!

The exchange rate last week wasnt 2.2 to the pound.If you read on the HT website it starting increasing around 10 May.I exchanged some a couple of weeks ago and got 2.75 to the pound at M&S and it was still climbing then."Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."0

Opps looks like I posted without getting my facts straight! My sister came back from turkey this week and said people who had arrived before her had got 220 to the pound and she had got 2.69 and she had surmised this was due to the jet incident but if its been increasing for a while.... we've talking out of our bottoms so sorry about that. Its strange that the price is getting better now though isn't it i would have thought it would have been the over way round due to the holiday season starting.But if ever I stray from the path I follow
