Decisinos decisiossosonson!!

Depends how much you are changing, the difference between $1.44 and $1.37 is $7 per £100 that you change. If you order through somewhere like Crown Currency, in advance, you will get a better rate than if you exchange "on the day", so to speak.

For the sake of £500, you are probably only looking at a swing of $35 dollars either way, so you aren't losing too much if you make the wrong decision. (I messed up and only ordered half of mine at $1.61, which has cost me $100 - $200!!)

Personally (knowing nothing about FEx at all), I can't see it climbing about $1.50 before then, but I can seeing it falling back to $1.38, so I would buy now - with advance ordering, but as I already said I have lost money, so what do I know!!

It looks pretty good from their Website, shame you've not had a good time. Is it due to food or service?

service was great! food was ok
the room wasn't up to scratch for a normal price of £140 a night.
the shower ran all night. not a drip.. a continual stream of water
the tv only picked up 1 station that was watchable
i like this one - one of the questions was the state of the carpet under the bed, i move the bed and there's a half eaten cookie!
if i was there on business, and paying i'd have asked to move rooms

the restaurant had a "gourmet party" in there... so there was only a crappy set menu. i was looking forward to my pork belly and partridge!
still, i had a good feed, a couple of pints of peroni (1 of which the glass had a crack in.. the other glass... ahem... may have dropped in to my case) and a bottle of vino collapso... so it wasn't all bad!

they were the main issues.
the noise from the M6 was a pain also.
