Very frustrating!!!
I opened my TorFX account and called them Saturday. I couldn't trade at that time as the markets were closed. Now the £ has sunk 1.5c and their rate is less than 1.50 again!
Just spoke to a lady there. A slow week is their forecast. Not too many figures to rock the boat

is that what she said??? :eek:

we got the BOE Inflation Report later this week - that has the potential to send a few shock waves through the markets...

plus BRC Retail sales at midnight tonight (shouldn't have much of an effect though)

Went to look at a Volvo XC-90 yesterday. I quite like them. The misses hates them. But when has that ever been important
I'm going to test drive each of the 5 or 6 that are in the running this week.
Favourite is probably still the Murano.

I don't understand the rates here as I was in the Post Office today and they were only offering $1.46 to the £. Are these just trading figures you are posting here or what you can actually obtain as curreny for going away with, and where would you get these rates?

whatusername

They are trading rates and only give you an indication of the top rate available.
