I have noticed some increase in the rate of sterling to euro in the last week or so.  
Looking at last year there were a couple of occasions when the rate went as high as 1.20.  Is that an unusual peak, has if often got to that level?
I appreciate that rates can't be predicted.

    If you Google something like 'gbp eur history', you'll find plenty of online resources where you see historical rates, such as:

    It happens every now and then.
