Any financial guru's have an opinion as to whether this trend will continue?

It was worse in 2004 when I was first here.

No way of beating it

It's going to hurt for a long time if you are sending back.

You could always buy dollar stick it in a dollar account and wait for Iraq to finish and America to get back on track then cash them back in for sterling.

It was 2200 won to the pound when I first came here. As long as it stays in the 1800 region I`m happy.

Look at this graph that will tell you how it has gone the last five years.
