I would stand by my original post but like I said any change is likely to be marginal.

:cool: another bad day today
we have crashed over 3 big figures today from 1.4880 to 1.4520 since this morning.
mainly due to RBS shares falling through the floor!

I got about $500 and $1600 of Disney tickets when it was at $1.50, I fly out to US at end of March so have decided that I will see what the rate is like when I get out there

Heading to the US next thursday. the rate has hit me hard as I left it to see how itll flactuate but oh well, got the tickets for me and the missus for an incredible price to LA, so cant be too angry. Think it was like £128 each return.

Im I right in just thinking about using my Nationwide Card to withdraw funds out there? That seems to be my only option?
