  • howdy folks. on a customer site today. can't really do too much surfing when they're paying £800 a day for me ;)
    and thanks for the reminder jonny old boy! I was going to try to get £5k changed first thing this morning but have been too busy :(
    that's just the start and the 3c drop means a difference of $150.
    i'm trying not to think about it right now. I reckon with all the bad news this week we could be down in the 1.30's again... and right now i don't really want to think of this!!
    Back in the office tomorrow so i'll be back online all day :)

    what bad news????
    nothing has happened yet...........:confused:

    Thanks for your views today guys.... we decided not to risk + £6k in case the worst happens, so cancelled the order with Crown! :o Turns out no-one insures against that kind of thing either! I can bare the thought of loosing a couple of hundred quid on a lower rate, but definitely not the thought of loosing £6k!!!! :eek:

    We don't fly out until 5th August anyhow, so we have some time so join the fun and games of the cable! :rotfl:

    Let's hope this week passes without dipping below the 1.4....
