if you are a sending money back in to UK accounts kep an eye on that exchange rate.

Pound took a hammering yesterday and is around 1845 to the Won just now.

that's only 200 Won of this time last year.

It's looking good for Brits at the mo in Korea.

The pound is worth 1.028 Euros. I wouldn't want to be going on holiday in Spain at the moment. I wonder how much a pint would be there now?

I love it as it was all doom and gloom for us a few months back when it was at 2300 or so.

Hi,

I've just received my first month's wage and debating whether or not to send it home? What do you fellow Brits think? And what is the best way of sending it back?

Thanks,

Rich

I always say if the ex rate is good take advantage of it, however, saying this, the pound is on a downslide that I can't see changing for a while because of Brown's economic policies and the Won is forecast to strengthen up to June (this may be bollocks.)
