VERY good exchange rate for the Pound today. 1806 W to a �.

It hasn't been this good for ages!

I think it could dip below 1800 won, what with the quantitive easing, and level of debt to be repaid. The pound is still a little overvalued in my opinion.

It's good for sending money back to the UK though.

The pound was overvalued for years. It's great living on the border in Ireland though, get paid in euro and spend it in the North on cheap goods!!

Patriotism my a$$, I'm all about avoiding getting ripped off by irish retailers!

�599.99 in euro is only �667.34 so we get shafted out of �230 if we don't drive 15 mile the other direction from our house?? Don't think so!!
