Morning inspector, your in the office early!!! :eek:

I have given up on the $$$ now, we go on sat and i figure, it is was it is.

Not looking great at the moment, i had real hopes before that we would hut the 1.50, and was so close at one point. :mad:

morning lisa, yep - usual time i'm afraid :cool:

sorry but its been an unfortunately poor week for the Pound, and all for what I feel are quite unjust reasons

heyhoe - the wonderful world of the forex markets

You must get up in the middle of the night to go to work.....

They seem to enjoy battering the gbp at the moment, do they not realise i am going on holiday.

On the plus side, i found a load of Yen yesterday that i didnt know i had, and bought at a much better rate than todays. Will be off to change them later, you got the Yen figures there???

Now that Merv has his printing press out are we in for a battering ? Or do you think that his monopoly money is already factored in ?

lisaloo1977

I lived and worked in sea for 6 years and my partner imported japanese cars for 10 years, so we have quite alot of connections to that part of the world.
We went to Japan for the world cup as well, didnt go to the final though. That must have been amazing?
We always stay with Yasuo a friend of ours, who can drink more than any english man i know. Its so funny, but they are always so lovely and hospitable.

What is it you do, that requires you to get up at daft o clock?

wouldn't you like to think its all factored in?
we all know its going to happen, have done for weeks (same as its already happening all over the world in many other countries, not just UK)
but this is the fickle world of forex, so expect anything, and be surprised by nothing !

Are you a Mermaid!?

i'm a money market trader for a japanese bank, in london
so i have to be in early to catch the tail end of the tokyo markets.
done it for 15 years now, so pretty well used to it!!

Teachertim

I'd like to think it is all factored in, but who knows the way things are at the moment, would like to have seen a better gain on yesterdays market figures - and some banks looking good today, but who knows !

I reckon we going to be down to 1.34 by the end of the week.
Your prediction Monkfish ?

morning all!
well it's like well and truly in crapsville.
i'm sure when the US started printing money the $ gained strength. surely it's only fair the £ does the same?

still no sign of my visa
a 62 page document went in the immigration to say how wonderful i am. now it's a case of crossing fingers!
