    Hello,

    I have about €1000 which I want to convert into £GB.

    Where is the best place for me to do this to get the best deal?

    Any advice really appreciated...

    Cheers,

    Loid

    Anyone any suggestions to this question as i am in the exact same position, go on, kill two birds with one stone.

    Thanks

    senior foreign exchange strategist at Deutsche in London, agreed: 'Sterling looks very undervalued. It is way below where it should be against the euro, if you look at the fundamentals.'

    Traders said that the pound, which sank close to parity against the euro in the run-up to Christmas, could rise by as much as 10 per cent by the end of January to above €1.12 .

    If it is of any interest to anyone, I just got an email from Crown Currency Exchange with Euros for 1.1150 for March.

    I do hope that alared is correct though and that Sterling will improve a bit! Can't be doing much for our imports, which we do rely on!

    Standing at €1.0650 today.

    If the BoE cuts by half a % on Thursday then €1-12 is priced in within the next few weeks.
  • it shows what a difference a couple of days makes, my mom changed 500 pound into euros on fri and got 510 euros, i changed 500 yesterday and got 530 euros and today i would have got 538 , i didnt dare hold on any longer as didnt want to be waiting for a delivery the day before i go away but its looking a bit better for people going away at a later date:j

    Agreed, but it`s still crap to the €1-45 we were getting just over a year ago.
    Can`t see those days coming back for a long time
    if ever:mad:
