as it's 'holiday money' then £10 ~ €13 - €15
Ευχαριστώ πολύ

You clearly haven't bought euros in quite some time if you think that the exchange rate is 1.3 to 1.5 - it's got close to 1:1

Wouldn't have even changed it - would have kept it and just bought them something from the holiday spending money up to around 15 euros each. Surely easier. Know that's on the generous side of exchange, just saying I really wouldn't have been quite so fixed on the £10 side of it. Gives them a bit of leeway.


If it had been £100 it might be different but a couple of quid on top of a tenner is neither here nor there really. They're unlikely to find something dead on that amount.


Bit of a ridiculous 'dilemma' lol.

Keep it simple €10 each - sorted.

Normally just a browser of the main topics, I went to the trouble of registering for the Forum solely in order to express utter disbelief that anyone would act in this way and then post publicly to ask if what they are doing is right.

These are your children; you are required to lay down your life for them.

We’re talking about £2 or so, I think some of these replies are verging on the over dramatic!!

A good opportunity to skim off a little more for yourself, offer them 5 and be really satisfied.
Incidentally, a previous post, b****h, I am still trying to work that out.

Modern vernacular, they chuck an 'a' after the bi.

Sounds like bee hatch.

I am assuming they are gong on holiday to Greece with you and that you have already changed your spending money into Euros. So why not either give them the true current value of their £10 in Euros or else round it up to 15? 10 euros for £10 seems a tad mean!

Top-Up them up by 20cents and buy them a cheap ice cream

Come on everyone. You know these aren't real dilemmas but just thought up in MSE Towers to wind us up. I only come here to read the weird comments.

Every week we get the idiots come on and say stuff like this.
And then every so often the original (and non MSE) poser of the question arrives on the thread.



Egg on your face.
