Thanks for your views today guys.... we decided not to risk + £6k in case the worst happens, so cancelled the order with Crown!
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....
wise move i reckon0 -
morning all, trading 1.4518, was pretty steady through the night.
fingers crossed for a good day0 -
below 1.45 now. currently 1.4490
